9:23 credits
The Slow Boat hits light winds, and they have engine problems 50 miles from the entrance to the Panama Canal. Linus has a spare fresh water pump and replaces the part and they are soon motoring past container ships at the entrance to the Panama Canal on the Caribbean Sea side, Colon Panama.
They tie up at the only marina at the entrance to the Panama Canal on the Atlantic Ocean side. While the marina is well marked, there are rocks near some buoys. They tour Shelter Bay with its workout facilities, dry storage yard, pool, restaurant and bar, and library.
They try to check in to the country in downtown Colon, which is across the Panama Canal from Shelter Bay Marina. There is a free marina bus but the ride is 30-60 minutes into town depending on the traffic, ferry schedule, or bridge openings over the Gatun Locks of the Panama Canal. The bus stops at the Quatros Altos mall but also drops passengers in downtown Colon.
Stevie and Linus get their 72-hour visas at the cruise ship terminal, but are rebuffed by the Cristobal Port Captain and the Immigration office in the Colon 2000 mall. Stevie leaves the boat and the country to avoid paying the $105 mariners' visa.
Linus returns to Colon, Panama to finish the check in process and get a 90-day mariner's visa, but refuses to pay an extra $50 captain's fee that he thinks is bogus.

Sailing from Costa Rica to Panama
In October 2013 we sailed from Golfito C.R. to Panama City R.O.P. aboard the sailboat Pacifico, a 47 ft. sloop. All went well until we ran aground at night while anchored damaging the rudder. After a tow to Puerto Mutis for repairs we continued on to Panama City.

Out from shelter bay marina in panama
Planing our next stop in Portobello, Colon Panama
Using Navionics app:
From quit far off we saw a sea of Masts... As we approached, we could see that this was a central place for abandoned and neglect boats.
Portobello in Colon Panama
Portobello A historic town, given its name by Columbus,
who arrived on he’s fourth journey with his Spanish colonial forces
The old city and some buildings are still a tourist attraction, but the preservation and restoration of the site is very poor.
We were told that Portobello had great restaurants so if you can share a good in the commends bellow, that will be lovely...
Docking location should be chosen according to the desired depth of the boat, the bottom is muddy/sandy.

Panama Canal Day 1
This video shows the day one transit of the Panama Canal on the sailing vessel Wind Dragon leaving from the Shelter Bay Marina on the Caribbean side. Shelter Bay Marina is across the harbor from Colon, Panama.
We couldn't start our transit until the pilot came on board and entered the first lock a little behind schedule so we didn't exit the third lock until after dark. We moored that night in Gutan Lake and finished the transit the next day which is shown in the video PANAMA CANAL DAY 2
Sailing to Colon Panama
Sailing into Colon with more than 150 ships lined up at the north entrance to the Panama Canal on 09/24/2013.

There's a lot of misinformation, and fear mongering, out there about the Panama Canal. All of the cruising guides we read said something along the lines of: _you should definitely hire an agent, it's too difficult to attempt on your own_. Many of the cruisers we spoke to said the same and several of the other YouTube videos we watched all used agents.
So when we asked our friends Rufus and Kate who transited the canal 2016 without an agent, their response: It's CRAZY easy and you can totally do the canal without an agent. We weren't totally convinced it was going to be a breeze so we decided to document the process and share it.
So join us as we Sail to Colon to begin the process of transiting the Panama Canal without an Agent.
We share way more info on our website. Including links to the forms and documents you'll need to begin the process along with a few other tips we learned along the way:

Panama to Colombia // Sailing One Word
I sailed to Colombia from Panama.
It was incredible.
Mein Schiff 6 Colon, Panama
Der Panama-Kanal ist das Ergebnis einer Geschichten Einfallsreichtums und Mutes,die bis Anfang des XVI.Jahrhunderts zurückreicht,als die Spanier den isthmus erreichten.Zu diesem Zeitpunkt entstand die Idee der Errichtung einer Route zu Verbindung des Atlantischen und Pazifischen Ozeans.
Den ersten ernsthaften Versuch im Jahre 1880 die Franzosen.
Bau des Kanals 1903 mit den Vereinigten Staaten ,und dieses Land schloss den Bau am 15. August 1914 ab und verwaltete danach den Kanal bis zum Jahre 1999.
Sailing from Bocas Del Toro to Panama Canal on SV Mahalo
The final passage of our adventure on SV Mahalo was to sail back from the beautiful islands of Bocas Del Toro in Panama, to the mouth of the Panama Canal for our crossing to the Pacific.
We encountered sharks, dolphins and not much wind.
Filmed on Canon G7X Mk2 and Go Pro Hero 4.
Balboa, Panama to San Diego, California 1
This, the final passage of my sixth circumnavigation, was slow and hard. It took 46 days for GANNET to sail 3300 miles. Five of the six full weeks of the passage were five of the six slowest weeks of the circumnavigation and two of the daily runs were by far the shortest, one of 16 miles noon to noon, another of only 14.
It is only a slight over simplification to say that the first 1500 miles were windless and the last 1500 miles to windward.
There was frustration, despair, and little good sailing and joy. In the absence of joy there is much to be said for honor and perseverance.
The passage log can be found here:

Busted by Customs in the Panama Airport, Slow Boat Sailling S1E10
This lost Season 1, episode 10, which patrons got to watch three months earlier.
After Stevie leaves the boat and before he decides to transit the Panama Canal, Linus has to fly back to New Orleans to help renew Sophie's passport which had recently expired. Sophie, Janna, and Linus see the sights in New Orleans. When Linus flies back with Balmar alternator he is illegal detained by customs in the Panama City Airport (PTY). The customs officials threaten to deport him but eventaully release him and the alternator for the sailboat. Back at Shelter Bay Marina in Colon, Linus has the rusted lifelines replaced with Dynema Amsteel Blue lines and hardware that he brought back from his trip to the United States. He uses Bar Keepers Friend spray to get off the rust stains that developed from the electrolysis and current running through the old lifelines in S1E6:
Linus replaces the busted water bladder tank that led to problems in Cayo Largo Cuba:

The MOST Expensive OVERLAND Border in the World/RORO Shipping across the Darien Gap PANAMA COLOMBIA
Support us on Patreon
In this video we share a BIG day in our adventure! We are shipping our truck camper Lucky LeAw via Roro Shipping across the Darien Gap from Panama To Colombia.
Join us as we take you through the process and costs involved in crossing the most difficult and expensive overland border crossing we have experienced.
It is next to impossible to drive from Panama to Colombia (from North to South America). This is due to a 66 mile region of dense marshland known as the Darien Gap. It is a notoriously dangerous region with no proper roads. Because of this, overlanders have to put their van on a cargo liner and have it shipped from Panama to Colombia.
It is a daunting process but we will take you through each step and prove that it is achievable!
