SAILING 5000nm on a CATAMARAN! (Pacific Crossing Part 1) [Ep85 RED SEAS]
After lots of preparation, we finally set sail from Panama to cross the Pacific Ocean on our Leopard 47 catamaran. Things start out well as we catch a couple of fish and fly our spinnaker in the light winds but eventually we get stuck in the doldrums and the engine has to take over. We provisioned heavily with extra diesel supplies and this is our first opportunity to try out our drill pump to re-fuel our tanks underway.
This is the first episode in our Pacific Crossing series. We hope you enjoy the ride!

We are halfway through our sailing passage from New Zealand to Fiji, but we're facing a big problem. We anchored in a submerged atoll called Minerva Reef, because the metal structure that holds our dinghy in place broke in the huge waves that we saw last week. Before we can leave this lagoon an...![SOLO SAILING – FASTEST PASSAGE EVER! [RED SEAS]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi_webp/xzix7jCQbj4/mqdefault.webp)
