We also a wold ride from Aruba to San Blas islands. As soon as we got to those blessed islands all the stress disappeared. It was also very windy for us coming into Colon but you captured it we just have it our memory. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you +Miss Lone Star's Travels! I enjoy hearing your feedback ;) it took us a few years to get everything organised also. I really hope you make it - it's an incredible lifestyle!
SAN BLAS Islands ROCK. Have fun and hope the fly's stayed out through the canal. Coco's is cool even just to see how magical it looks in the middle of no where. Safe trip to all.
Please keep posting your adventures. This is simply Amazing and inspiring to say the least. Talk about life at sea, eating, watches, the hard times and the good times. Safe travels and pleasant winds The wife and I are falling your trip....
Louise and I watched your last video at work a few days ago - it's so nice to 'see' you - looks like you're having an amazing time! Oh, and we're not jealous at all. We had cake. Yesterday. Yeah. ~ Ben
Awen24 Ouch, Ben! I haven't had cake in months. Haha :) Thank you so much! It's been absolutely incredible - you'll have to come for a sail once we pull into Hobart :) send all my love to everyone at work!
Annie Ford Hey Annie, hope you guys have a fantastic sail back to Aus. I remember sailing through the Panama Canal as a child (but on a liner). Its a bit cold back here in Hobart at the moment, was only 3 degrees as I walked into work. Have my own dreams of buying a yacht sometime and heading off across the seas. But until then, will continue to enjoy your travels and others doing the same sort of thing. Fair winds.
Conrad Green Hey Conrad! The refit took about 2 months, however we went a bit overboard with preparations! Awesome suggestion for photography equipment - what we have onboard is quite limited! I'll have a look into a pole :)
Wow well quick to and through the canal, would liked to have seen more. That sea to the canal looked a bit evil, glad you made it ;-) Warren s/y Legend
Great to find another channel about sailing adventure! Would love to know how long you had to wait to transit the canal and how much it ended up costing in total. Can you share?
averagejay2008 Hellooo! No problem at all :) We arrived on a Monday and transited on Wednesday/Thursday. We used Erick as an agent and it cost us around $1,400 US off the top of my head! I hope this helps :D
+CoolAirVw During the night a solo sailor feel asleep and ran up onto the rocks :( all the gear was stolen off the yacht when he went to get help. He salvaged the mast/rigging, but that's all that was left. Our heart went out to him!
Did you have to hire someone to prepare the boat and get through the canal? I've heard it's very expensive to navigate through, like around $3000.00........I would love to do that one day but now, I watch an envy you guys. Fair winds and God bless.....Johnny
Hey +Johnny Wilson! We paid for an agent to arrange our passage through Panama Canal, it ultimately saved a lot of effort (and money)! His name was Erik :)
I get that you're just starting out on RUclips and that obviously, the most important thing is that above all else you ENJOY making videos, but a small suggestion. Could you maybe try making some longer videos, around the ten minutes mark? Again just a suggestion but I would love to see more of your journey.
+klimpomp What a kind post to read! Thank you for your thoughtful words :) I will definitely try and make some better quality, longer videos for you. Thank you for your recommendation!
Had a sailboat..now trawler slipped in Key West. Barvaria sailboats are great boats..almost entirely the boats used in Croatia..Germans make fine boats..but, six years of non-use means two things..."reasonable price"..and "alot of things need replacement.." All the best/Randall
C'Mon guys! Too Fast!!! Sint Maarten to Panama in two episodes!!! :-( We wanna see much more detail! Make the clips longer and have lots more of them!!! At this rate you'll be home in Tassie by Episode 6 :-(
umvhu Hehe, this piece of advice has stuck with me! I'm trying my best to improve the wind interference with recent footage. Thank you so much for your helpful suggestion!
Great Job on the vids and awesome adventures. Were just starting our own and can't wait. Perhaps we'll see you out in the great Pacific! KnM Mountocean.com

This is a wonderful video.....thank you for sharing!
Love the video! I enjoy following your channel. We are in the Caribbean and plan to follow some of your travels in a few years and get through Panama!
Thank you +Miss Lone Star's Travels! I enjoy hearing your feedback ;) it took us a few years to get everything organised also. I really hope you make it - it's an incredible lifestyle!
We've been living aboard for 6 months. It is a big change from our old neighborhood life but it is so much better! Cheers!

I just found you channel. Really great! Your boat looks awesome. Thanks for posting!
Nice videos, thanks for sharing little pieces of your adventures!

Cool video! Can't wait to see more.
Sweet as! Glad to find your channel. Will be waiting for the next update!
Cool videos. I been through the canal on the big boats, it cost a lot. What do they charge you to go through in small boat ?
Pretty good job guys Keep the vid's coming and they will get much better over time.
+Syd Chase Gosh I hope so Syd ;) haha, thank you!
Nice vid. I sailed a Beneteau 40 in California for several years, but when the Retirement Plan A went sideways, had to sell it. Good for you guys!

nice! another sailing channel with people living the dream!
Beautiful boat that BAVARIA and amaysing trip thank U for sharing....
At 1:27, that catameran in the background, any idea on what model/make anyone? Looks stunning.
Love this Annie, so stoked young crew are taking chances and living beautiful exotic dreams!!!
Thank you +Hannah Taylor! I agree, it's excellent seeing other young people out here doing it! Such good energy :)
How long did the refit take? Beautiful vessel. Seems like a telescopic camera pole would be handy. Excellent adventure. Best of luck.

what was going on with the flipped over sailboat at 2:08?

Hi, Can you tell me what paperwork was required to use the Panama Canal? also what was the cost? Thanx
How much did you pay for the boat? and how much did you have to complement it with
Hi Guys may I ask what it is your sailing ? How big and what is the boat . Be safe
+Roy Colley Cheers, Roy! She's a Bavaria 46, we were very lucky finding such a great boat for this trip! Best wishes :)

hi! love your videos keep up the awesome adventure! maybe you could number your episodes to make it easier to follow along! like La Vagabond do
I followed your advice +Ben Hoskins! Good idea ;)

Annie Ford. Glue a small piece of furry fabric over the microphone and it will kill wind noise.
Nice video
