At Shelter Bay Marina, Panama, the crew of Big Lost spends the 48 hours before their Panama Canal transit on maintenance, errands, and gear prep. Lumar forward hatches with crazed lenses are swapped under warranty; the crew strips the old hardware to keep as spares.▶ 0:27 The engine bay gets a full clean-out, and 3M oil-absorbent diapers are placed under the engine and beneath the alternator and raw water pump to catch any new leaks at a glance.▶ 1:22 A sail bag zipper is hand-stitched back in place using a speedy awl.▶ 1:47 The Starlink dish is converted from AC to DC power to reduce electrical load.▶ 2:38 Canal-specific fenders and lines are sourced and staged.▶ 6:08 A drive to Panama City to collect the children's passports fails, adding one more loose end.▶ 6:22 Familiar boats from earlier in the voyage — La Vida Shred, Palloran, and Blue Privilege, last seen in Bonaire — are all at Shelter Bay preparing for the same transit.▶ 5:18 The crew notes the Pacific passage begins immediately after the canal; there is no return east.▶ 6:54 A clean engine room makes leak detection faster than any diagnostic tool.
