What this video covers

Big Lost has completed all boat projects and provisioning for a Pacific crossing but remains at anchor in Panama, held up by two obstacles: pending children's visas and an unacceptable weather window.▶ 0:08 The crew reflects on the Atlantic passage that preceded this moment — thousands of miles that began as a dream and evolved into a family's full-time life afloat, with schooling conducted at anchor and children growing up shaped by ocean passages.▶ 2:56 Crossing the Panama Canal marked a clear transition: different ocean, different weather patterns, different language, and a reshuffled cruising community, as some Atlantic companions chose not to continue west.▶ 0:53 The family describes building connections across distant anchorages and treating strangers-turned-friends as community.▶ 2:25 No departure date is set; the crew is waiting for both the visa clearance and a suitable westbound weather window before leaving Panama for the Pacific.▶ 4:06
