We SLEPT in the PANAMA CANAL!

We SLEPT in the PANAMA CANAL!

When you sail around the world, you face two big decisions: go around Cape Horn and Cape of Good Hope or go through the Suez and Panama Canal. The trade-off is simple – sail around the bottom of Africa and South America and endure thousands of additional miles and boat-breaking conditions or go through the Sue and Panama Canal, pay with your pocketbook but save time and avoid the wrath of Mother Nature. We’ve tackled the Cape of Good Hope, but this time we’re taking on the Panama Canal with a Twist. To go through the Panama Canal, you actually need five people on board – you need four line handlers and one driver. What occurs to me is this: it’s almost 110 years old; it’s insane. It’s in such great shape so much fun. Oh, good even with all the shouting and all the excitement, How’s it going over here, Monica? This is awesome. This is my guy. About Sailing Nahoa Ben, Ashley, together they did the unimaginable. They sold everything and set up on a mission to sail around the world. Civilization? See you later. Fishing competition? Man, I think I win. This is going to be awesome. After 38 countries, over 40,000 nautical miles, and welcoming two kids along the way, they are on their second lap around the world. It’s definitely harder cruising with kids but it’s really rewarding and it’s been a lot of fun having them along for the ride. That’s what this is all about – meeting people, seeing beautiful places, and the beautiful world that we live in. Subscribe to follow the adventure as we live A Life at Sea!
