We Finally Made it the San Blas "Swimming Pool"
We’re a family sailing full-time, exploring the Caribbean and Central America aboard our sailing catamaran Big Lost. New episodes every Tuesday at 10:30 AM ET.
In this episode aboard Sailing Big Lost, we finally trade the noseeums of Snug Harbor for sunshine, clear water, and one of the most iconic anchorages in all of San Blas.
We begin by leaving Snug Harbor, escaping the relentless bugs and motoring for Isla Puyadas, where we enjoy a beautiful dive and a delicious feast of fresh channel crab. From there, we continue on to Nagarna in search of fuel, veggies, and other provisions before heading deeper into the San Blas Archipelago.
While exploring Nagarna’s river system, we encounter a crocodile lurking along the mangroves—one of those wild surprises that makes this cruising life so unforgettable.
Next, we make our way to Coco Banderos, a picture-perfect group of islands known for their white sand beaches, turquoise water, and thriving reef. After soaking up some much-needed sun and snorkeling a healthy, colorful ecosystem, we hoist the sails for the first time since leaving Colombia.
And what a sail it is.
We glide right into the legendary Swimming Pool anchorage—a true cruisers’ paradise and the San Blas experience we’ve been waiting weeks for.
Join us as we dive, sail, explore, and finally arrive at one of the most beautiful anchorages in Guna Yala.

Maybe the Dream Was Never About Sailing
Maybe the dream was never about escaping real life. Maybe it was about having more say in how we lived it. The grocery runs, broken alternators, school days and everyday responsibilities didn't disappear when we moved onto a sailboat. We just chose a different place to build our life. A lif...
Some Problems Follow You Across Oceans
We inherited our alternator problems when we bought Big Lost in Florida—and somehow, they've traveled with us through the Caribbean, across the Panama Canal, over the Pacific, and all the way to French Polynesia. We've fixed things. Broken things. Learned things. Taken steps forward and a...
But What If You Try… and It Changes Your Entire Life?
But what if you try… and it changes your entire life? We chose to leave behind a more conventional life and sail the world together as a family. We didn't know exactly where that decision would take us—we just knew we wanted to find out. Sometimes the biggest risk isn't trying and failin...
We Didn’t Choose an Easier Life
We didn’t choose an easier life. We chose the life we wanted. Living aboard and sailing the world as a family isn’t always convenient — but the hard days, incredible places, friendships, and adventures are all part of it. #SailingBigLost #SailingFamily #BoatLife #FamilyAdventure #SailingLife
What Happens If You Never Try?
