Transiting the Panama Canal in a Nordhavn 56 Motorsailer - Ep. 22

After selling our Nordhavn 40 long range passagemaker, we purchased a new (to us) Nordhavn 56 Motorsailer and are in the process of moving her from Florida to Ensenada, Mexico for the North Pacific hurricane season. In this video, we transit the Panama Canal. Sometimes small pleasure boats do it in 2 days. We ended up doing in on one long day on April 21, 2019. We picked up our canal advisor I (the guy that rides on your boat and tells you where to go and what to do) in Colon Harbor on the Atlantic side at 4:30 am and dropped him off at about 5:30 pm on the Pacific Ocean side of the canal. It was not without a few harrowing moments, including having lock lines break on a boat we were tied to, but we made it through with no injuries or damage to the boat. By that measure, a successful transit! We all appreciate your comments and try to respond to as many as possible.
