To continue his journey from Alaska to Argentina, Dylan Wickrama builds a raft, powered by his BMW R 1150 GS, and starts his adventure in the Pacific. The Sri Lankan&#8217;s story spellbinds very many people. Now a documentary film is going to be produced &#8211; using crowdfunding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Life sometimes invents stories that are more incredible than any Hollywood film maker could ever think up. One such life story is that of Dylan Wickrama. It is about a boy who often looked out to sea from his native Sri Lanka and passionately longed to know what lies beyond the horizon. It was unlikely that he would ever find out. Because Dylan grew up in poor circumstances. His father was killed by a burglar when Dylan was not even six years old. He had to grow up, and bear responsibility, much too fast. Years later he received the opportunity to discover the world he hitherto only knew from the journals that were passed around the village. On his BMW R1150 GS &#8220;Bruce&#8221; he travelled more than 210,000 km on four continents over a period of three years. But the real adventure begins at the Dari\u00e9n Gap between Panama and Colombia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44502 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/BMW-R-1150-GS.jpg\" alt=\"BMW R 1150 GS\" width=\"600\" height=\"339\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"sectionheadline__headline active\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">DYLAN&#8217;S TALE ON THE BIG SCREEN.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VDvWIYgfWMc\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"sectionheadline__headline active\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">IT ALL BEGINS AT THE DARI\u00c9N GAP.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Dylan Wickrama is on the Pan-American Highway, America&#8217;s main transport artery that stretches across the entire continent from Alaska all the way to Tierra del Fuego. Between Panama and Colombia there is a famous gap known as &#8216;the Dari\u00e9n Gap&#8217;. Whoever crosses it must struggle through dense tropical jungle and flooded swampland. There are dangers lurking behind every bush. Not only wild animals, but guerilla fighters, rebels and drug smugglers since the Dari\u00e9n Gap is a notorious hotspot for drug trafficking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44503 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Dylan-Wickrama-2.jpg\" alt=\"Dylan Wickrama \" width=\"600\" height=\"340\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Not a place where a motorcyclist travelling alone belongs. Dylan has landed in a cul de sac and is stuck. During his involuntary stay, he befriends several people and eventually finds supporters for his idea: a &#8216;cruise&#8217; on the hazardous Pacific Ocean covering 700 kilometres. However, this is not sailing as Dylan understands the word. Especially since the Sri of Lankan has no sailing experience whatsoever.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44504 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Dylan-Wickrama-3.jpg\" alt=\"Dylan Wickrama \" width=\"600\" height=\"339\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"module sectionheadline\" data-sectionheadline-anchor=\"700-kilometres-through-rough-seas\">\n<h3 class=\"sectionheadline__headline active\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-active-switch=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">700 KILOMETRES THROUGH ROUGH SEAS<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"module__content\" data-marginal-type=\"no\">\n<div class=\"copy__content copy__copyCenter active\" data-active-switch=\"\">\n<div class=\"copy__right copy__copyCenter--center\">\n<div class=\"copy__copyCenter--text\">\n<div class=\"copy__paragraph\">\n<div class=\"migration-copy-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Dylan builds together a raft from ten empty oil drums. He equips it with a sail &#8211; then Bruce comes into play. Dylan extended the shaft of the R 1150 GS and integrated the motorcycle so that it can serve as a motor for the raft. He fills 120 litres of petrol into jerrycans and takes them on board to refuel. Out in the Pacific he gets caught in strong currents that pull him deep out to sea. For days he floats aimlessly in the ocean, not knowing where he is any more and in what direction he needs to sail.
