In today’s episode, we’re going to start by fixing a problem with the dinghy that almost cost Little Richie a finger.
Installing New Sonar System on the Dinghy
We then move forward to install a new sonar system on our dinghy that allows us to chart the bottom in uncharted areas, making our journey even more thrilling.
Stress Testing EcoFlow DELTA Pro System
Following that, we do a stress test on a one-year-old EcoFlow DELTA Pro system with an expansion battery to see if it’s held up after intense use on our yacht Sophisticated Lady. The system proves to be extremely efficient by providing 90% usable capacity.
First Overnight Passage with Discovery Sailing Crew
After some much-needed rest, we’re now geared up to take our next Discovery sailing crew on their first overnight ocean expedition from Panama to the southern islands of Colombia.
An Exciting and Memorable Journey
Throughout our journey, we encounter exciting adventures such as facing a steering issue in the dinghy that leads to a DIY solution using black tubing for the steering cable, and discovering a hidden diving site near Pablo Escobar’s former mansion.
The Best Moment of the Passage
But the best moment of the passage is hands down the breathtaking view of a full moon night, surrounded by clear skies and dolphins joining our ride.
Preparation for Offshore Sailing
To summarize, an overnight passage is always an exciting endeavor. It teaches us invaluable lessons about teamwork and perseverance in overcoming the unforeseen challenges that come with open-water sailing.

We Couldn’t Slow Down — Squalls from San Blas to San Andrés | SSL780
Yesterday turquoise meant danger under the keel. Today the danger was the sky. We left San Blas under a wall of rain, ran a thrill ride of squalls and following seas into Linton Bay — then the next morning pointed at San Andrés. 27 hours. About 9 knots average. Surfing past 10 when the ocean picked...

SAN BLAS Panama — The Reefs That Sink Boats Here | SSL779
The San Blas Islands are one of the most beautiful places we have ever sailed. They are also one of the most technically demanding. Over 100 kilometres of coral reef protects this archipelago — and that same reef has ended a lot of sailing dreams. After 28 hours of open Caribbean, we arrived in Gun...
SSL776 ~ First Overnight Test after Refit.. How did She perform?
After almost a year on the hard, Sophisticated Lady is back where she belongs — offshore, under full sail, heading somewhere extraordinary.
