Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew of Big Lost transits the Panama Canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific, beginning the process with a 4:30 a.m. departure from the marina.1:17 The vessel takes on a canal advisor, Juan Luis, to navigate the three-lock ascent that lifts the boat 85 feet.1:11 Line handlers manage the vessel's position within the locks, where the crew experiences strong currents and wind that complicate station-keeping. After completing the first set of locks, the boat motors 20 nautical miles across the canal system to reach the final set of locks.6:19 The descent toward the Pacific requires precise engine control, including slow reverse maneuvers on the starboard engine to counter wind and current forces.8:20 The transit concludes as the vessel exits the final lock into the Pacific Ocean.12:26 The experience highlights the necessity of managing line tension and engine power to maintain control against the turbulent water movement inside the lock chambers.
