Qué cubre este vídeo
A Jeanneau YACHTS 53 owner navigates from Panamarina to Bocas del Toro, Panama, while troubleshooting engine and maintenance issues. After a failed starter battery prevents departure, the owner replaces it with a standard car battery from a local shop.▶ 2:20 The transit involves stops at Portobelo and Shelter Bay to evaluate haul-out facilities, noting the presence of crocodiles in the water at Shelter Bay.▶ 9:21 During the 155-mile coastal passage to Bocas del Toro, the boat encounters 25-to-30-knot headwinds and strong currents, forcing a change in strategy to hug the coastline to mitigate current resistance.▶ 15:08 The owner observes that mountain effects likely intensified the wind speeds beyond the 10-to-15-knot forecast.▶ 15:21 By sailing through the night, the vessel maintains a higher average speed, allowing the owner to reach Bocas del Toro ahead of schedule.▶ 17:29 The owner plans to order parts for a future Pacific crossing while in the area.▶ 20:10
