After weeks anchored in the San Blas islands, it was time to move again.
In this episode, we leave the Swimming Pool anchorage and begin our passage toward Shelter Bay. The weather window wasn’t perfect — the seas were rolly — but with lighter winds and tougher conditions building ahead, it was the right choice for us.

This is a slower, quieter look at life underway: steady sailing, a brief stop to get in the water, Christmas aboard, and the simple rhythm of moving from one chapter to the next.

Thanks for following along with our journey. If you enjoy this calmer side of sailing, we’d love to have you along for what comes next.

New episodes every week — thanks for sailing along with us.
