    Love the teak wood on your boat...the maintenance is WORTH it.. BEAUTIFUL BOAT!!!

    Set up a brewery on that boat. Beer galore, and you'll be the most popular boat in the anchorage. And if someone tells you to move while filling up with water, turn off the fuel before trying to start the engine. Then troubleshoot the problem for as long as it takes to fill the tanks.

    Great job! You are very brave sailing a 55’ with two. The pacific is such an angry sea! It’s always scared me even though I e sailed like you many many years! Mainly the med, Atlantic and caribbean with very little sailing on the pacific off shore. There’s so many hazards, floating containers, violent sudden storms, sudden waves due to the deep water etc. and so little land/help in between unlike the Atlantic where you have land off and on and it’s only around 20 days across depending on your boat size etc. again great job! Love your boat! I’m a Beneteau person but yours is a close contender!

      @SailingwithThomas  11 місяців тому

      Sometimes they do, and if your to late you can receive huge fines. Some places like Panama City however are pretty relaxed towards sailors that have cleared out as they know they have a long sail ahead and might wait for weather
