Panama's Busiest Port With No ENGINES! - Onboard Lifestyle ep.353
On this week’s episode of Onboard Lifestyle, our passage to San Andres, Columbia was interrupted by a sudden onset electrical issue. The crew makes the hard decision to turn back and limp back into the busy Panama Canal Port without engines in the dark of night. The winds were light but the determined crew was strong as basik makes it to safety at 1.5 knots. Come back next week as we now must go into full diagnostic mode…see you then!
