Leo Goolden and his crew transit the Panama Canal aboard the 50-foot gaff-rigged cutter Tally Ho, navigating from the Pacific Ocean toward the Caribbean Sea.▶ 0:13 To manage the transit, the crew hires an agent to handle paperwork and provide mandatory 100-foot mooring lines and fenders.▶ 7:25 The vessel requires four line handlers and a canal advisor, who guides the boat through the locks.▶ 8:06 During the approach to the first lock, the vessel experiences a close call when strong outflow currents catch the bow, causing the boat to turn toward the lock wall.▶ 15:02 Because the boat lacks a bow thruster and features a long keel, Goolden struggles to regain control until the mooring lines are secured to the bollards.▶ 16:11 The transit requires precise coordination between the crew and lock workers to manage the heavy monkey's fist heaving lines and maintain the boat's position against turbulence and shifting water levels.
