Transiting the PANAMA CANAL on our Sailing Catamaran! ⛵️
This week, we take you along for our Panama Canal Transit. We’ve been dreaming of checking this off our bucket list for years! 🙏🏼 Despite many reported delays, our transit date was moved up eight days. We scrambled to get the boat and our crew ready on such short notice. We hired two local professional line handlers and rented long, thick lines and giant fenders. Our Adviser arrived early in the morning, and we immediately got underway! We rafted up with two other sailboats for the first set of locks, crossed Lake Gatun, and then went through two different rafting configurations for the remaining locks, ending with our boat alone in the center of a lock as the doors opened into the Pacific Ocean. 😍 We celebrated once we got the anchor down and reflected on our experience…

Holly and Ray
Just a couple of sailors trying to stay afloat and filming along the way! With no jobs and no plan, we live every day like it’s Saturday. ⛵️ Originally from Portland, Oregon, and San Diego, California, we sold all our belongings in exchange for a life on the water. Now, we are slowly circumnavigating! With backgrounds in science and engineering, we have a knack for technology and self-repairs. Our vlogs are casual, real-time videos that feature us enjoying and constantly trying to improve upon our 2017 Lagoon 42. Email: [email protected]
