Hva denne videoen dekker

Departing Cartagena, Colombia after a five-day wedding stopover, the crew of Escapade sails roughly 35–40 hours to San Blas, Panama, arriving at 8:30 p.m. in a reef-strewn, busy anchorage with shallow water — a night entry they describe as sketchy despite a full moon.5:53 The passage runs on wind vane mode at 120 degrees apparent, averaging 6.5 knots without a functional headsail, which they are nursing to Panama City for a haulout before the Pacific crossing.13:17 In Cartagena, clearing out requires an agent to retrieve passports.6:02 Fuel costs roughly $50 USD to fill four jerry cans there, compared to twice the price in Panama; the crew adds fuel treatment to the stored diesel and plans to carry the cans on deck for the Pacific crossing, having learned from being caught in the doldrums on a previous passage.7:14 The damaged headsail is expected to last the short remaining legs — San Blas to the boatyard, then 25 nautical miles to Shelter Bay.9:30 One crew member is sick after the wedding events; the cat Nala and a booby bird that rode the solar panels for hours both make the arrival.13:56 Carrying maximum jerry-can fuel before a Pacific crossing is the practical lesson drawn from the doldrums experience.7:55
