Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew of Supernova prepares for a 1,000-nautical-mile passage from Mexico to Panama City by completing final boat maintenance, provisioning, and customs clearance. The checkout process requires a two-day administrative sequence involving the port captain and the Secretary of the Marina, culminating in a mandatory inspection by military personnel with sniffer dogs. Once cleared, the vessel must depart within 15 minutes, necessitating that all fuel, including jerry cans, be topped off at the fuel dock prior to the final inspection. The crew discards excess gear, including a damaged sea anchor and old running rigging, while repurposing spare line for new dock lines and a stern anchor rode. A delay of two additional days at the marina is accepted to secure a $400 discount on Panama Canal transit fees through the Panama Posse program. The crew prioritizes full fuel tanks to ensure they can motor the entire distance to Panama City if they encounter headwinds or light air.
