Qué cubre este vídeo

A Vision 444 catamaran departs Snug Harbor in San Blas, Panama, and works its way through several anchorages toward the "swimming pool," a well-known cruiser gathering spot in the archipelago.0:50 At the first stop, Connor dives on the anchor to free chain wrapped 90 degrees around a coral bommie, then sets a buoy to mark the anchor position before three buddy boats — La Vida Shred, Palaran, and Bedouin — arrive.3:18 The crew buys channel crab from local vendors and sails five nautical miles to Nargana to resupply, sourcing 52 gallons of diesel hand-poured from buckets — described as the most challenging fuel fill yet — plus eggs and produce.6:26 Floating plastic trash throughout the mangroves and bay at Nargana is documented on a GoPro.17:46 A recurring raw water pump leak on the starboard engine traces to Johnson pumps ending in "-01," a discontinued model; GPS4US shipped the wrong pumps despite a receipt showing "-11," and a 30-day warranty expired before the error was discovered.23:51 The crew anchors at Coco Bandero, dives a reef described as one of the healthiest encountered, then sails to the swimming pool under full main and jib at 5.6 knots in 11.5 knots true wind — the first time sails have been up since Colombia.36:12 Fuel is delivered by a vendor named Ortiz at the swimming pool anchorage.39:06
