We Transited the Panama Canal as a Family | Atlantic to Pacific
We just completed one of the biggest milestones of our sailing journey — a full Panama Canal transit from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific.
From a 4:30am departure at Shelter Bay Marina…
to rafting through Gatun Locks…
to the quiet expanse of Gatun Lake…
to descending into the Pacific at Miraflores —
this was more than a passage.
It was a commitment to the next chapter: the Pacific Ocean.
We’re a family sailing full-time aboard our Vision 444 catamaran, Big Lost — currently preparing for a Pacific crossing.

Finding a Safe Place to Leave Our Sailboat
One last move before we leave. We brought Big Lost through the pass into Phaeton Bay, Tahiti, where our catamaran will stay while we head back to the U.S. For now, she’s settled at anchor. ⛵️ #SailingLife #LiveaboardLife #CatamaranSailing #Tahiti #Shorts
