From Caribbean crossing to regatta Racing in Bocas Del Toro | EP132 HD 1080p
After making our way through the Windward Passage for the third time, our family of seven has finally returned to the familiar waters of Bocas del Toro, Panama. ⛵🌴
This place feels a little like home for us, and after weeks at sea it’s the perfect spot to regroup, reconnect with friends, and begin preparing for the next phase of our journey.
While settling back into life in Central America, we welcomed a new crew member aboard and were invited to participate in the 7th Annual Bocas del Toro Regatta. With great friends, friendly competition, and beautiful Caribbean waters, we jumped in and had an amazing time on the race course.
But as always with life aboard a cruising sailboat, the to-do list is never far away.
The next step for us is heading toward Linton Bay for the boatyard, where the real work begins. Our goal is to prepare the boat for a major milestone ahead — a South Pacific crossing next year. 🌊
For now, we're enjoying time with the sailing community here in Bocas, getting comfortable again in Central America, and slowly shifting gears from passage-making to boat prep mode.
Because if there’s one thing we’ve learned from this life… sailing plans change constantly.
But the mission remains the same.
Prepare the boat. Prepare the crew. And get ready for the Pacific.
Follow along as our off-grid sailing family navigates the balance between adventure, boat projects, and raising five kids at sea.
