NIGHT SQUALLS + CLOSE CALLS with Cargo Ships SAILING to Bocas del Toro | Harbors Unknown Ep. 85
Did you see the video of our passage from Miami to Panama? Check it out here. https://youtu.be/FVQTj88ST10
Overnight sailing passages can be tricky and every sailor knows squalls usually hit in the dark early morning hours. Sailing from Linton Bay, Panama to Bocas Del Toro means we have to cross the shipping lanes of the Panama Canal so we need to keep a close watch and avoid the many cargo ships transiting these waters. It’s a bit nerve wracking but we are ready to move on and there’s still a bit of time before the weather is right for our next big journey. So we set out on a 150 nm passage west to explore the Bocas Del Toro archipelago.

If you're new here, Harbors Unknown is the story of two dreamers, Kristin & Fabio Potenti, & our dog Yoda. We're a small family living aboard our catamaran, Wanderlust, sailing to Harbors Unknown. Exploring the world, connecting with people and places through the local cuisine, and showing how great food can be cooked on a boat with limited space and resources. Seeking to balance the desire to explore and travel to beautiful, remote locations while leaving no footprint, minimizing the Hawthorne effect of the observers who change the environment she or he observes.
We hope to inspire people and showcase the possibility of living an alternative lifestyle that provides freedom and fulfillment, all while keeping it real. Sharing the trials and tribulations of living off-grid, acknowledging the discomfort of detoxing from the modern world, finding pleasure in the subtleties of nature and joy in simplicity. Attempting to understand what makes the world tick and tock but also trying to gain a deeper comprehension of ourselves and identify what will satisfy that hunger for further exploration, for purpose. We have set off on our voyage sailing around the world, exploring the beautiful waters of South Florida, the Florida Keys, Bahamas, the US East Coast, and Panama.
