The BIGGEST SAIL of Our Lives | Ep 80 | Sailing Merewether

This week we explore an unknown town for us, Panama City. It is truly remarkable to discover new cities and the histories behind them. We pinch ourselves every time we get to see a new place, we love every minute of it. After completing much preparation we embark on what will be one of the biggest sails of our life's. Panama to French Polynesia is normally around 3800 miles but because of the time of year we actually plan to take a much longer route, heading south to Ecuador to pick up the trade winds. With the Hydrovane in full operation we start gliding towards an anchorage to clean the hull but make a last minute decision to keep sailing in order to take advantage of the very good wind pushing southward. After the first days reality hits, and we slowly realise what we have just started. It’s not an easy thing to wrap your head around, we’re going to spend 4-5 weeks on the ocean - all alone (!!?). Keep posted for part 2 of our pacific crossing. Join our crew! We are looking for new crew to join in the future journey. Sign up to be one of our patrons for a good chance at joining us on our journey around the world.   / sailingmerewether   Instagram   / sailingmerewether     / kieranwyse     / neeisabelle   Facebook   / sailingmerewether   Sponsors and Mates UK Sailmakers - https://www.uksailmakers.com True Headings - https://trueheading.se Predict Wind - https://www.predictwind.com
