The crew of Big Lost departs San Blas, Panama, making a final visit to Barbecue Island before sailing to Chichime and then completing a 38-nautical-mile passage to Portobello on the Panamanian mainland.3:51 At Chichime, anchoring in the tight anchorage between two islands required three attempts in 25-foot-deep water before finding a satisfactory position; the first two drops were abandoned due to dragging and proximity to neighboring boats.10:41 The Chichime-to-Portobello passage runs in 11–12 knots true wind on a starboard tack; the crew starts with full main and jib, then swaps the jib for a code 55 at 60 degrees apparent wind angle, gaining roughly two knots to reach 7.5–7.8 knots over ground.13:43 The final two miles into Portobello are motored after wind dies around a headland.18:22 The stop at Portobello is a staging point before a haul-out at Shelter Bay Marina, scheduled for February 9th, for a bottom job and additional projects.3:56 The passage timing was chosen to beat an incoming weather system with calmer forecast seas.13:22
