Sloths….. looked up at dinner on the beach, sloth with a kid! Now 7yrs later mom is still there. Found one on the side of the highway, tried to pet it….. they’re fast….
Wonderful how just a few documents take a half day to accomplish a permission to transit. It’s funny how Central America has a different twist on the food from one country to the next but still looks delicious. The burgers that Teal and Emma ordered looked like a high end restaurant and of course Linh you went traditional which looked like something you would serve. Hope entry into Panama goes smoothly as this anchorage has been smooth . Be careful and stay safe my friends God love ya .
Golfito is a duty-free port, so all the "Tico's," -native Costa Rican's- go there to by stuff, like appliances... BTW: Tico is what they call themselves, so it is not at all offensive.
What a lot of hassle to get out of the country. You have more patience than I do. Glad you received the good news to leave earlier especially with the good weather window coming up. It's so much fun watching your videos, it's just that they are finished so soon, I could watch you guys for hours. Safe travels and all the best preparing for your trip.
Teal 10:58 you should have got another take of that, it didn't sound to convincing. You guys will definitely make the best of it we're look forward to the improv... a few minutes later.... whooo hooo.
Dogs fret when we leave them, they actually don't have an understanding that ur coming back. Big hugs for little man, there love is completely unconditional.
I know. We feel bad leaving him onboard, but sometimes the local animals are more aggressive and don't have current vaccines. We like to scope out the area before taking him to shore. He's pretty special to us.
It sounds like things are working out. You are going to have a blast in the Carrabien. I really enjoy your vlogs. I wake up on Friday and think, "Oh, It's Onboard Lifestyles Day." I have plenty to do, but your videos are always a joy. Good luck with the Panama Canal. Thanks for taking the time to share your lives and travels.
I know. Cruising life is always about changes. I usually roll with it, but we were really hoping to get through the canal to meet up with some friends before they left. I just have to remind ourselves how lucky we are to be doing what we are doing.
Hi guys, I just want to say you’re one of the best sailing channels I watch the love you have for each other is incredible and you just have so much fun. Keep up the good work. Lots of love from Australia the thunder down under
I had to stop the video to write this message...Did you see Teal's face when you mentioned the free coupon's 😂 "Well we might as well stay here for a couple of days" Lol😂😂😂
May your transit be uneventful and an adventure of appreciation for the engineering of the Panama Canal. Many lives lost in its construction. Be safe and soon you can sail to Florida. You are welcome to stay in our home, if you like. We are known as great host by those who have stayed with us. God Bless. Bear 🐻
Sloths are not fast, they are elusive! 😜 Coming up on Episode #300!!! $30/week seems wonderfully affordable - can save up for the dinghy. The paperwork always seems an incredible over amount of processing. On to the canal! Donate for a Dream
Are you guys gonna ever cross the Atlantic, over to europe and maybe after europe the coas of africa and from there to indian ocean and to Asia, would be amazing seeing you guys make that kinda sailing trip ⛵️ ✌️🌹♥️👌🤙🫡
Okay, not a good thing to have dropped on you suddenly. My suggestion is that you guys head up into the mountains and see some of the awesome national parks and whatnot Costa Rica has to offer. You may find that you like some of the places you visit as much as you did Santiago Atitlán. You can still cross the boarder on land and see much of Costa Rica from Panama as well as the Panama highlands.
Once through the Panama Canal what are your cruising plans? Southeast along the Columbia coast then Aruba then north? Or up the east coast of Mexico the through the northern Gulf?
I always heard the Costa Rica was a pain in the butt when it comes to leaving. With the good thing is Panama waters on the Pacific side and some of the best tuna fishing and bottom fishing you'll ever have so if you at least have that month try to enjoy some tuna fishing it's supposed to be incredible and a lot of the bottom fishing there's lots of huge red snappers and cabrilla
Teal, im surprised you haven't tried filling the inside of your dinghy with a coating of liquid rubber or some such thing to seal your leaks. You know that stuff the guy makes boats out of screen doors stuff. Flexi-seal i think it is. Get a gallon of that liquid stuff and just pour it in and rotate your dinghy a few times. Or use that tire sealant green goop and do the same. Wont cost much and it won't make the boat worse off even if it doesn't work.
Our biggest issue is not having the right stuff for this type of application. We have been traveling through some areas that carry a very limited inventory of everything and not close to big cities.
Knowing where you are now (I was following your canal trip and have pictures that I can't share with anyone of where your boat/home is parked), I hope everything is going well and you can continue your journey soon. Thanks for sharing with us!
Crazy, Costa Rica is too hard to check in out of, the country shore line is cutoff to yachts passing through, seems to me the cost of things to stay can be expensive and checkout is burdensome not worth the stay, I watch a lot of sailing channels and everyone has had negative things to say about checking in and out that they make it almost unbearable
While western Costa Rica is not a very cruiser friendly coastline, we wouldn't want to discourage anyone from doing it. Land travel is excellent and if we weren't so pressed for time, maybe we could've planned some inland travel and explorations. Compass was a factor as well as marina fees. The average cost for a catamaran moorage is $5 usd per foot per day. Yikes. 😬😬😬
Hello, wonderfull familly and journey. I am looking for a catamaran. I d like to know Basics length, witdh, weight ? What is you anchor type and weight, lenght off your chain, power of your windglass. Thank for your help.
You can always wait for the Mexicans to build their canal. Or use the Northwest Passage. Or use the Magellan Straight. Was wondering when you would find out the Panama Canal was having issues.
I really enjoy following you guys. However, what’s the motivation for going through the canal and head to throngs of sailers in the Caribbean. Turn right and head west across the pacific. Come see us in Thailand!!
@@jimmaughan1898 The Magellan Strait is close to Drake Passage. Drake's Passage is basically going around the tip of South America. Magellan caught two men on his ship in the act of having sex together and held court against them. Punishing one to Death via strangulation, and the other one is said to have drowned after being thrown overboard. Edit: 4400 +
I'm sure they could have made it a bit more complicated to exit if they really tried. 😳 Did you have an agent to walk you through all of that or do it yourself?
Lol, we did the checkout process ourselves. We learned from friends there is a specific sequence in order to checkout and the officials are not very helpful in making sure we doing it right. We only know this is the correct process otherwise, they will delay our checkout without an explanation, just that it's wrong. Go figure. 😅
If Emma ever wanted to pursue a fashion modeling career I believe she would be very successful. Her face in the thumbnail is stunning. She resembles a young Adriana Lima.
Unbelievable... but from a documents req'd perspective... there are much worse places... Like the Philippines. Happy travels. Btw I watch regularly but rarely comment.Teal, you're a great husband/Dad and lucky to have two such amazingly intelligent and beautiful women onboard. You and Linh I'm sure are very proud of Emma. Happy belated btw. What will you do when she goes to Uni/College? #emptynesters...
I spoke Too soon ,That is not your Old dinghy Because It is still Hanging on , the back of your boat. So is this a new one you bought or 1 that you borrowed. Did not say in the video.
Emma commented that it’s harder to turn ? Tohatsu usually has a friction knob that you can loosen and it will turn easier ( works good if it’s a kicker motor on a sailboat that you use the rudder for steering to “lock” it straight)
Dang the logistics... It maybe took you half a day to do all that, but not mentioned, the half a day, ( plus) to learn what to do, and plan your steps... what a pain.. Your really think, these last line pirts of a country,would have some enterprising high school kid to have your day cut by 2/3rd's.. charge a few buck and provide a service.. Kids have such a chance to be begining entrepreneur, and help provide money to their families. Just not the energy i guess. I mean on an average how many cruisers a day or a week need all this done.. time equals money. Do 2 a week!!! Sounds like Panama, is making a killing for the locals to keep you captive in their ports and cities to spend baby spend!!! PS.. isnt the ARK rally in Nov??
Delays can change everything because cruisers pay attention to the upcoming hurricane season. A delay may effect our float plan. The weather in Panama turns quickly to lightning season and our hope is to make it through the canal before that happens.
If you noticed, for whatever reason, none of those boats have their pets onboard anymore. Since Covid, restrictions have tightened and getting more strict. Parlay had to leave their dogs in Tonga as they could not get them into New Zealand. Sailing Nandji also sent their dog back. We didn't want to take the risk of having to quarantine Compass or incurring additional costs or worse, not being admitted into the country.
The situation with the canal sounds like a typical third-world grift. Throw-up bureaucratic barriers which will magically disappear when money is placed in the right hands. 💸😮 What if any are the insurance implications of your delay? I live along the ICW near Southport, NC and starting May there is a steady stream of US and foreign flags cruiser who pass by to get out of the hurricane zone before June for insurance reasons.
No insurance implications at all. We are far enough south to be out of the path. For hurricanes to form you need to be at least 10 degrees from the equator and Panama is at 7-9 degrees. It takes time for a hurricane to rotate over warm ocean waters and Panama's location doesn't allow enough time for the eye to form.
Canal situation is due to water level of the lakes. With each passages it is dumped into the seas and it isnt replaced by river or rain at the same rate?..
Compass is a great security dog
You have to lockdown everything before you can leave.😂
A loaner dingie!!!!!
happy birthday emma
Thank you!!! 😁😁
yep happy birthday Emma
Happy Birthday Emma🎂
Thank you!!! 😁😁😁
Sloths….. looked up at dinner on the beach, sloth with a kid! Now 7yrs later mom is still there. Found one on the side of the highway, tried to pet it….. they’re fast….
Now I want a bacon, mushroom, cheese-burger, and a coke. The coke might give me a tummy ache though! Hehe
Ugh, we were stuffed! Teal and Emma loved it.

Linh, Love your hat and loved your breakfast. I saw your breakfast and said, "Wow!"
Yep burocracy. Nice having you in Costa Rica😅
Lol, it definitely made our day exciting. We're just sorry we didn't get the chance to explore more inland. Cheers!
Good luck with Panamanian lightening!

I guess that you missed the part at the end of the video, 13:48, where they are back to two weeks. 🙂
I did miss it
The rain Central America is unbelievable! Solid water columns from the roof to the ground!

Hopefully no boat yoga needed before the transit.
If you’re still in Golfito, I bought the Trits ice cream in the freezer at the Fish Hook Restaurant (big blue building near your anchorage.
Panama Canal has a water shortage at the moment due to lack of rainfall and the lake used to top up is at lowest recorded levels.
Someone has expectations? Just a resentment waiting to happen. PARTY ON GUYS.
Thankyou 😊

Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa 🌍
Hello Cape Town!
Groovy episode. The food looked yummy.
I am glad you have a working dinghy ! Safe journeys and best wishes from Montana !
Sadly, it was just a loaner for the day. Our dinghy woes continues.....
Thank you.
safe travels
Thanks Robin!!! 😁

Lol, I know but I need an excuse as to why i cant seem to spot them! 😂😂😂
There’s always Hawaii!
Hay where and when did you pick up a Dingy?
Right, must be some lost footage somewhere.
I'm concerned that Teal really thinks sloths are fast! 😂
Lol, we know they aren't fast. We joke because we can't seem to spot them.
Woohoo! Fair winds!❤🥳
Thanks Paul! 😊
Great episode I enjoyed it!

Are you guys gonna ever cross the Atlantic, over to europe and maybe after europe the coas of africa and from there to indian ocean and to Asia, would be amazing seeing you guys make that kinda sailing trip ⛵️ ✌️🌹♥️👌🤙🫡
Around the horn! Be adventurous.
Better read The Wager first, yuk yuk.
When you get thu the canal the San blas is the best cruising place you’ll ever find, we spend nine wonderful trips there.
Okay, not a good thing to have dropped on you suddenly. My suggestion is that you guys head up into the mountains and see some of the awesome national parks and whatnot Costa Rica has to offer.

I’m glad you all seem to be in good spirits.
Love the dog !!!
Customs seemed a nightmare. Why can't they streamline it? I'm guessing money's involved.
We think they have always done things this way and have never implemented a 😊 streamlined system. Plus, they love copies of everything! Lol
I Read that Mexico is trying to cash in on Panamas problems with their own system near the Yucatan.

Curious are you guys after the canal gonna stay very south Caribbean dt hurricane season Atlantic
Have you thought about filling leaking tubes on your little boat with marine foam that want absorb water.
Welcome to Panamá. Enjoy Pearl Archipiélago and Taboga on our pacific. CASADO = Married...

There’s always the Magellan Straight
I think you meant "strait." Magellan wasn't straight. Didn't he take Drake's passage?
No he wasn’t gay, and Drake made the Drake passage
@@jimmaughan1898 The Magellan Strait is close to Drake Passage. Drake's Passage is basically going around the tip of South America.

It is only about 3000 miles farther south, although they wouldn't have to worry about heat that far south. 🥶🤣
There’s also The Beagle Channel
Panama has 3 toed sloths, two toed sloths, and pygmy sloths.
I'm sure they could have made it a bit more complicated to exit if they really tried. 😳 Did you have an agent to walk you through all of that or do it yourself?

Don't worry, I won't tell anyone that you stole that dinghy. 🙄
😂😂😂
I spoke Too soon ,That is not your Old dinghy Because It is still Hanging on , the back of your boat. So is this a new one you bought or 1 that you borrowed. Did not say in the video.
If I know Teal it’s the old one with fiberglass and “thickened epoxy”
We did mention it but it was quick. We borrowed the dinghy from our buddy boat Manxi.
I heard you Lynn but I had to rewind I wasn’t sure what you said the first time.
Emma commented that it’s harder to turn ? Tohatsu usually has a friction knob that you can loosen and it will turn easier ( works good if it’s a kicker motor on a sailboat that you use the rudder for steering to “lock” it straight)
Looks like Panama is trying to take advantage of the busy season. Hold them so they have to spend money.
Dang the logistics...
It maybe took you half a day to do all that, but not mentioned, the half a day, ( plus) to learn what to do, and plan your steps... what a pain..

You’re cruisers why does a delay matter? Dam you have to spend more time in a beautiful location! So sad
Delays can change everything because cruisers pay attention to the upcoming hurricane season. A delay may effect our float plan. The weather in Panama turns quickly to lightning season and our hope is to make it through the canal before that happens.
did you ever consider buying a jet ski?
We’re would they put ?
Also it wouldn't be too practical for three people and a dog. Not to mention hauling groceries and fuel back to the boat. 🙂
They complicate the paperwork in order for you to give up and hire one of their agents, usually a family member. All about the $$$$$
Maybe, but we're stubborn. Lol They only require you to use an agent if you stay in a marina in Costa Rica.

What the hell of burocracy, to get out of that country! What for lovely family. With a beautiful douther. Why does she have no boyfriend?
