Prepping (not very hard!) to cross the Canal. [🎥30🇵🇦]

We arrive in Colon and quickly leave for a "vacation from our vacation" while our bottom gets repainted. It doesn't go smoothly. [This video was shot pre-covid.]

ABOUT US: We are a family of five sailing around the world on our "dream boat," a performance catamaran named "Archer."

Ten years ago, before kids, we sailed a Lagoon 380 named "Honeymoon" halfway around the world to Sydney, Australia. Along the way we shared our experiences with family and friends via YouTube, and by happenstance created the first sailing channel. We also realized what an incredible experience we were having and that someday we wanted to do it again, only this time with our kids.

OUR BOAT is a Ferrari red Outremer 51 performance cruising catamaran. We chose this boat as it has been specifically designed for the purpose of bluewater sailing. It was designed and built to withstand the stress of sailing multiple times around the world safely and in comfort. And yes, she's nice on the eyes too.

OUR ROUTE has taken us from the Boston/Cape Cod area of the United States down to the Caribbean and then on to the Panama Canal. At the time of posting this we are dealing with the Coronavirus lock down in New Zealand.

PLEASE COMMENT!: As a "family channel," we are required to actively monitor all comments, but we still want to hear from you. Tell us what you think!
