O que este vídeo aborda

Arriving at the San Blas Islands after a 1,400-nautical-mile passage from the US — which included rough seas and a torn sail — the crew of Escapade spends one day and one night anchored in 15–17 meters of water before pressing on to a boatyard.2:08 The islands carry a mix of infrastructure and remoteness: a beach bar, restaurant, basic accommodation, Starlink connectivity, and card payments, though cash remains essential.7:48 The crew snorkels, spearfishes lionfish to clean the reef, and briefly feeds sharks with the carcass.11:56 The dinghy strikes a reef on departure when the bottom shoals faster than Navionics charted.16:05 Departing at 5 a.m., they wait out a squall before sailing to Panamarina near Linton Bay on the Panamanian mainland for a planned one-week haulout.13:44 The broader plan is to complete Pacific maintenance and sail Escapade to Bali, Indonesia, by October — before the Pacific cyclone season and the Indonesian monsoon season begin — to be closer to home and find a lower cost of living.16:34 The Navionics reef strike is a direct warning that chart accuracy in the San Blas Islands can be unreliable.16:08
