Catching up along the windy Colombian coast - Aruba to Panama - Sailing Greatcircle (ep.255)

The boat is in one piece again! Stephan, Jeannette and Thomas join us sailing from Aruba to Shelter Bay Panama along the notorious coast of Colombia.

Sweet sweet sailingcat - glad you got her all fixed and ready to continue the adventures - with a new 🔥🔥🔥 deckhand 😉 Fantastic pictures and editing - outstanding promotion for the ship designer and builder

[@fritz3388]

As far as I can remember, your nicest sailing video sequences. Danke fürs mitfahren lassen;-). And I mostly share your taste of music too. Thanks. Gute Fahrt für das Meer der Stille!

[@marktaylor484]

Outremer should now get their "Double O" status ( a la James Bond style) - "Outstanding Outremer". The "goodwill" that their actions have created will win them many admirer's in the boating community. Well done again Mark for the outstanding videography, especially the aerial tracking shot's, GC really pick's up her bows' and flies and achieves fantastic speeds whilst maintaining a great comfortable stable platform. You both must be so ecstatic to be both back on the water and on the way to the fleet again. Safe winds and following seas.

[@rickhudson6890]

You guys can fly in that boat. At times it looks like the front of the boat is skimming on top of the sea! Fair winds and great weather to you!

[@Gladtobemom]

Glad to see you sailing again. The boat does look different.

[@zzzxxzzz3248]

Thanks for sharing !

[@vivianeriesterer4279]

Marc your drone shots are absolutely amazing, such a pleasure to watch, thanks for letting us join your adventure

[@weraporu8009]

the part sailing with only music with the drone, we could just watch this for hours, thanks, happy trip ;)

[@alfreddaniels3817]

Incredibly good footage of the sailing in bigger waves. That’s relatively rare as most vloggers have no hands free and not enough camera skills. Thank you so much for sharing some of the feeling for this great boat.

[@brendahennessey1415]

Drone footage was fantastic…. Could just feel the anticipation of catching the fleet… That Outremer looks amazing after all that had been replaced in the damage. Such a great comeback in a fantastic adventure. Fair winds. Following seas. 👏👍

[@tlr724]

yay!

[@JustinCaseSolarPower]

wow just 5 weeks since the crash, Your fixed and sailing. yes smiles all around.

[@adrianchristopher5867]

That is one really incredible boat. Shoutout to the Outremer Team. Fantastic sailing.

[@bobopopo67]

What a pleasure to see GreatCircle flying again ! Nice images of drone in sustained winds.

[@mitfreundlichengrussen1234]

So good to see you on course again. Big shoutout to the Outremer Team.

[@sjaakdekleijnvanderweide8298]

I wish a safe sailing and I hope it was your last bad luck situation for the rest of your cruise I enjoy your videos I see my future in 5 years from now after my pension, I love to see people who do what they like and enjoy there life. Keep doing what you do en have fun.

[@hanshekkerace]

Great to see you back on track again. Amazing downtime for the repair. Looking at the metal crossbeam, I think that you can praise yourself lucky you had the carbon cross. The metal cross would have bent or snapped, which could have dropped the mast. Happy sailing!

[@Papaondas]

nice to see Greatcircle sailing again, awesome aerial footage , go Greatcircle go

[@johanmarais9950]

Well done to the owners for keeping it together - as well as Outremer, the new crew - just a lovely circle of greatness seeing what happened to you guys - sail well!!

[@tomcraddock244]

Happy to see you back sailing!! Man that boat can fly !!! What a fast passage!! Well done Fair winds ⛵️

[@brettgraham1966]

Still love those drone shots and seeing how good the motion is over the waves, seems like such an effortless glide with no major pitching, testament to great design and build 👍👌

[@DidiPort]

The Drone footage in this Video, WOW, this adds a dynamic edge to the video. Mark, I think this is your toy, well played. Bons Ventos The Portuguese Wallaby Down Under

[@percival3830]

Loved all those shots with the invisible camera stick. The boat is sailing fast and well.

[@goralki]

YESSS, ik ben zo blij voor julie, you guys are just the best at capturing the exhiliration of downwind sailing. Nobody comes close on the other chanels. So looking forward to the next video

[@philippevanhems1321]

Super video! Lucky sailors on a marvelous boat. Thanks.

[@andrebelanger7798]

Very nice image especially when you see the boat surfing with the wave. Thank you and have a good week

[@bertju100]

hoi fijn dat je cat weer goed is.

[@nicoleortiz983]

Fantastic drone footage Mark. Over two hundred miles a day. Great Circle rocks!😍

[@imsft06154]

Great to see you back, all the best for circumnavigation. Look forward to see wonderful videos you guys post

[@CatGreatcircle]

No she didn’t!!

[@Alex-ig2xr]

The boat is surfing. Fantastic

[@DidiPort]

Good people deserve good outcomes. Yes Outremer have been exceptional, I must say, you both have been understanding, yes of course disappointed, however you have digested the situation with real class, this shows the quality of the person. It is amazing you are back on course and experiencing fair winds, at least for good sailing. Enjoy the experiences good and bad, they are all learning opportunities, I think you both already know this. Actually Bons Ventos. The Portuguese Wallaby Down Under

Great episode and stay safe Greatcircle Crew!! 👍👍👊👊⛵⛵

Great sailing

[@richardsimpson2599]

Great camera work ! hope you are trouble free in the Pacific, think you have earned it !

[@pierrealozie8526]

Epic... Wonder if the sail is different with the aluminium structures as compared to the carbon ones...

[@CatGreatcircle]

They’re a bit too big for the standard cross but it still works for 95%

[@carolinajanssen6451]

Hmm unheimisch gevoel over de laatste 30 seconden. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you

[@geoffthefarmer]

The drone footage in the rough conditions was excellent. Bet it was difficult to launch and retrieve the drone.

[@CatGreatcircle]

Marijke had some experience in the meantime catching it and it’s important not to wait for a too low battery

[@Starmania_FR]

I think you don't have less performance even if the new part is not carbon. Glad to see you operational again.

[@CatGreatcircle]

Not a huge difference in performance

[@JasonHampel]

I'm sure it's hard to describe and show how big the waves are but you do a good job in this video. I'm sure my lunch would have been overboard if I had been there. lol I bet the waves were pretty tame compared to what you've experienced in the past though! The sailing looks amazing nonetheless! :)

[@CatGreatcircle]

🤣

[@ikbenhet1976]

Did I see a glimpse of Delos (23:07) in Shelter Bay Marina? Nice Video! Jaloers makende beelden :-)

[@CatGreatcircle]

Yes they were there

[@ikbenhet1976]

@@CatGreatcircle The two sailing channels I follow most closely at the same time in Panama... Nice!

[@scarletbegonias2359]

I'll bet it feels good to have your sealegs back again? I used to suffer from migraines, but ever since I discovered how to make Kratom Tea it's been a nonissue. 4 years without a migraine and arthritis discomfort is also a thing of the past. An all natural remedy, one glass in the morning and that's all she wrote.

[@tomwilliams8675]

You certainly were surfing down some of those waves, you were really flying! How did you ever keep the drone up with the boat especially when it was time to land it. Excellent job. I didn't like hearing you say there was going to be problems coming up, I know you'll overcome them. 🤝🤝🤝👍👍🇺🇸

[@CatGreatcircle]

We do wear jacket and gloves in the meantime when catching the drone…

[@alexmikhael5061]

SO DID JAMES Sailing Zingaro PUT IN AN OFFER TO KEEP THAT OTHER CAT GOING IN THE CIRCLE ?????? inquireing minds are curious ;) LOL

[@kingdommindset1462]

Hi. I love this channel. What a beautiful boat! I don't sail so I don't know much about sailing, or owning a boat. I would like to know why it seems yachts use FLIR for night vision, but it appears Catamarans don't?

[@CatGreatcircle]

Some do, we depend on the normal radar

[@gilstewart4069]

How much for the damage and install of new equipment?

[@en8581]

Awesome video! What size Ultra anchor do you have, 77 vs 100 lbs? Curious how you like it so far and if you feel you got the right weight?

[@CatGreatcircle]

35 kg and yes no problems at all

[@darren5472]

Great to see you guys back enjoying your sailing. Some fantastic drone footage. I tried filming my own yacht last week with a drone and now appreciate how difficult it is. What drone do you use? Where are you when you are piloting the drone, inside or outside? Love this episode!

[@CatGreatcircle]

When sailing we normally use the P4, easy to catch

[@divekatdreaming]

Wonderful sailing video! Did you notice a difference in how the boat handled with the new cross beam?

[@CatGreatcircle]

Barely, the front sails just fit and the code 0 goes a bit less flat as the bowsprit is a meter shorter

Congratulations that at least you are in the mouth of Panama Chanel. By the way did you arrange the marketing of the T-shirts? You told me when you was in Sevilla that you was trying to find the proper way.

[@CatGreatcircle]

No we didn’t look into it

[@erwinlevasier]

Hoi Marijke, even een vraagje : Heb jij met jouw migraine geen last van zeeziekte? dus sneller duizelig en draaierig dan normaal ? Even een grappig detail als Mark Engels praat dan wil hij er ook nog wel eens een Nederlands woord doorheen gooien zoals: “hoor” Maar het woord “hoor” in het Engels is toch echt wat anders 😂 Wat een heerlijk zeilkanaal hebben jullie, en een prachtige cat 😍 Groetjes, Erwin

[@CatGreatcircle]

Nee geen last van zeeziekte behalve soms de eerste dag een klein beetje als we lang niet gevaren hebben. Valt niet mee inderdaad met al die talen hier door elkaar

[@DouglasArringtonMusic]

Evereyone know the route you took to the canal is fraught with danger for explosive storm cells comming from Columbia.

[@CatGreatcircle]

We were still quite lucky I think

[@rainfinger]

Jullie kunnen goed Nederlands pratten.
