Great video, you two! I had the honor and privilege of going through the Panama Canal in March 1963 east to west when the ship I was serving on took President Kennedy's two brand new helicopters to Costa Rica so he could use them to travel the country. Came back through the Canal a few weeks later (after some fantastic shore liberty!) and made it to home port Norfolk, Virgina just long enough to re-supply, re-fuel, and was off again with JFK's new choppers to Hamburg, Germany. We were there when the President spoke at the Berlin wall June 26, 1963. Then, we dropped down to the Med for some liberty calls in about 6 different countries. We made it back to home port Norfolk the same week (Monday) that JFK was assassinated that Friday, Nov. 22, 1963. Needless to say, your video brought back some very happy times in my life, and some very sad times in my life, and I don't think for a second that's a bad thing. Take care, you two, and always look forward to your next video. Fair winds, and following seas! Cheers! :)
I don't envy you that trip through the canal: for once in my life I think I would be only too pleased to stay in the galley. I loved the Caribbean (30+ years ago now). I don't know how far ahead you are . . but it would be great if you have the time to visit and video Pig Beach just north of Staniel Cay in The Bahamas. There are literally piggies swimming in the sea - my heaven!😄
One of the best sailing vids, prepping for the canal, I have ever seen!! Wait I don’t watch any other sailing vids 👀😂 Brilliant boys! Unusual to go Pacific to Atlantic so it’s refreshingly different to the usual ones!! Copied my comment from fb 😬 x
Small boats get burned now through the canal. Casting off in a couple of weeks from Canada south to miss out on the cold. Looking forward to clear warm waters😊
I would have flown down to help with the crossing. It is a bucket list item from me as well. A year or 2 from now I will have to make the decision to go left or to go right as well. Im now sure which it will be for me yet.
I'll be in the Caribbean end of November after doing a yacht delivery from Spain, after that I'll be crewing for a few months on an other yacht. Maybe our paths cross.
Who did you use as your agent? Can you endorse him? We're following your footsteps, including a haul out at Opequimar, before continuing down to Panama and crossing in 2023. Thanks for advising!

Aaah so exciting
excited for you guys!! I hope you have time to cruise the islands on the eastern side. I've heard nothing but good things about them!

Great video 😀👏
Muchas gracias
Great decision gentleman! A season in el Carib will suit you both well. We just may see you in French Polynesia after all. Enjoy!
