How to Transit the Panama Canal, Part 1 EP 120 #sailing #adventure
In this episode of Sailing AWEN, we share the first of a two-part series on transiting the Panama Canal by boat and how it works. There is quite a bit of pucker factor in this kind of transit but it's also an epic experience. You won't want to miss important advice and tips for a successful canal transit. Moments like this remind us why we do this in the first place, to push ourselves into uncomfortable situations and take on new challenges.
We’re sailing full-time aboard AWEN, our Outremer 52 performance catamaran, continuing our bluewater sailing journey. From offshore passages and ocean sailing to the quieter, human moments that make life afloat so meaningful, we share the real highs, challenges, and surprises of liveaboard catamaran life.
⛵ IN THIS EPISODE
• Working with a Canal Agent
• The role of the Canal Advisor
• Nesting with other boats
• Transiting the first set of locks at night
• Spending the night on Gatun Lake
If you’re dreaming about sailing around the world, living aboard a catamaran, planning an ocean crossing, or transitioning to a simpler life of travel and adventure, we hope this episode resonates with you.

Sailing AWEN
We are Holly and Stephane are formerly from the San Francisco Bay Area but have a home in Tahoe. Our 'someday' plan was to sell our belongings, buy a boat and with reckless abandon sail away to visit distant lands, which we did starting in 2020. You can follow our transition and journey in our totally candid podcast, Covert Castaway, wherever you listen. Or, you can follow every stop we’ve made with pictures, blogs and stream our podcast directly on www.sailingAWEN.com. You can also find us at https://www.facebook.com/SailingAwen and we update this most often, or our blog at www.sailingawen.com. https://www.noforeignland.com/boat/awen
