What this video covers

Connor and the crew of the Leopard 62 catamaran Big Lost are selling their vessel after deciding it is too large and complex for their family to manage safely.26:09 The decision followed a passage from Honduras to Isla Mujeres, where the crew determined that the workload of maintaining and operating the boat fell entirely on the two adults, creating a safety concern if one person were incapacitated.26:36 After receiving an unsolicited purchase offer from a family interested in a sister ship, the owners scheduled a survey at Brantford Marina for March 12th, with a planned closing date of March 31st.28:37 Before the sale, the crew replaced a transmission cable on the starboard engine, sourcing the part via Maker's Air to Staniel Cay.14:42 They are currently sailing north toward Freeport to prepare for the handover, while navigating around a forecasted 20-to-30-knot blow by seeking protected anchorages in the Exuma Sound.24:16 The crew intends to transition to a smaller vessel to continue their cruising lifestyle.29:29
