In this episode, you can see the troubles we had to get into Martinique after fighting the waves and currents “the wrong way” for 15 days. We sailed probably more than 2000 Nautical miles nonstop from Panama to Martinique through the whole Caribbean sea, after the Panama Canal was closed due to COVID. Being stuck in Panama for one more season was not tempting, and with the hurricane season getting closer it was time to leave if we should not be trapped for another season south of 10 degrees north. For us, it seems more reasonable to sail back home to Europe until the world gets back to normal again. So in this episode, we start our crazy long journey of 7-8000 Nautical miles back home to Europe. And it was not without problems and challenges. Shelley comes back on board after being denied at the airport in Panama, in her attempt to fly back home to Holland.
When we arrived Martinique we where denied access to due to new french rules excluding boats sailing with Norwegian flag! Martinique is considered as part of Europe in terms of being french and following french regulations and the EU. So why was a Norwegian flagged boat suddenly considered as not part of Europe anymore?
