This week it’s finally happening, we are going through the Panamá Canal! We get a bit nostalgic and realise we have been sailing over 7 000 NM, from Ios in Greece where we started a little under 2 years ago, to Colón in Panamá. After our some what hectic sail out of the Mediterranean, we sailed over the Atlantic ocean. We’ve spent over a year in the Caribbean islands and now we are crossing to the Pacific ocean through the great Panamá Canal.
Two days before the crossing we picked up 8 enormous fenders and 4×40 meters (140 feet) long ropes from our agent. We wanted to have all the right gear for this passage and we didn’t want to damage our home. Lucky for us we got a hold of 4 volunteers to help us with the lines the day before departure. Our advisor arrived at 4 pm and we started motoring towards the first lock, along with some dangerous looking clouds.
What an experience! We had a blast, but after putting down the hook on the other side (the right side as Kieran puts it) we crashed. We were both exhausted, but so happy. We had made it, and were one step closer to Australia!
Join our crew!
We are looking for new crew to join in the future journey. Sign up to be one of our patrons for a good chance at joining us on our journey around the world.
