Quarantine Sailing - From one Lockdown to Another, Sailing to Panama - Ep 26

In the middle of lockdown in Curacao we make the decision to move to Panama where we'll be forced to do a 14-day quarantine aboard Bacchus. Fast sailing, we break our speed record three times on the way and Dani get's seasick (again!). 6,000 miles and we've still only caught one piddly fish!

Incredible job done with a bambu stick,congratulations,ahoy from Boston.

[@bruceleen6086]

So hi there you are amazing inspiring I love how you both keep your cool amazing couple so in tune with each other

[@sailingavocet]

oh my! Great time on the water, glad you guys are safe.

[@robertgough508]

In company rather than convoy. Loveyour openess and honesty

[@ParisBosserman]

This was my favorite episode yet! 172 miles congrats! What a great passage! Glad you made it safe and sound. Looking forward to the next one. Ps, you have made it to the top of my list of favorite channels on YT ❤️🤙🏼🥳

[@sailingavocet]

same, they have awesome personalities

[@sailingbacchushome944]

Thank you, glad to hear you're enjoying!

[@MarkL-J]

HMNZS Perseverance! Most enjoyable vid. I enjoyed the footage of the passage. I was impressed with how well the self-steering was holding course; I wondered if its rudder would have sufficient authority in those seas. Congrats on a fast passage and safe arrival. I know this was a few weeks ago so interested to see how plans develop. Impressed at how you are making the best of the situation.

[@sailingbacchushome944]

Thanks Mark! The Hydrovane does an amazing job, and the small rudder seems to be able to keep her in the groove, as long as there isn't too much weather helm. The big waves don't seem to bother it, unless they're really quartering us, then she can get pushed off course and up to windward. We had this issue in the final days of the Pacific Crossing, which caused some frustration!

[@Dryer_Safe]

Nice episode. You're brave to go at night through such a crazy busy place. I love your video during passages, that's the best part of sailing blogs. And the cool kiwis :)

[@mikeparker3865]

Glad you guys made it. I had no doubt (otherwise no video). I am sorry we weren't able to see the white knuckle entrance int Colon. Can't wait for the next video! Stay safe and healthy!

[@sprendergast351]

Great video of the passage, and yes it is quite eye opening to see how many ships are going through the Panama canal. They would have looked giant on Bacchus . Hot and sweaty days in Panama.

[@AlexRCarlson]

You guys should look up Atticus when you get there, I think they're still hanging out in the mangroves on the east side of Panama.

[@genieclarke7346]

Awesome sailing and fantastic video.

[@fgansell]

Really good sail for you guys, great episode, so glad u are sharing..cheers

[@roncanizares9966]

Take a look at a halyard knot also known as a Jeanneau Halyard Hitch. It is a great knot for attaching shackles to halyards.

[@beachartaustralia3708]

Great filming of the following sea

[@juliacoleman5674]

Loving your adventures guys! Keep safe xx

[@bluesbreakersailing2197]

Good Luck guys, great vlogs, I wonder what will happen when you arrive in NZ, really hope you carry on with you adventures.

[@sailingbacchushome944]

Thank you!!

[@Kiwifrau]

Hi Asher and Dani. Imogen and Miro were here for dinner on Wednesday evening and Imogen told me about your adventure and vlog. I have binge watched them all now and the kids are really enjoying then too 🙂. Fantastic videos, really interesting and real. I have learnt a lot and so are the kids. I'm now hanging out for the next one!! Take care, Nicky (Dunedin based second cousin 🙂)

[@sailingbacchushome944]

This is awesome! Lovely to hear from you and glad to hear you and the kids are staying tuned to our adventures!

[@dc1544]

Dolphins have to breath. the pool of the is 3 times what you think. they cannot stay under for a long time. they are like us but have to breath several times a minute when not holding breath.

[@michaeltaniwha]

Kia Ora! Great vlog guys. Amazing fast sailing conditions. One day I hope to head to the south seas on my sailboat SV Kiwi.

[@sailingbacchushome944]

Thanks Michael!

[@jyzilvz]

Asher the T-Rex at about 13:30 👌🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@rosslevitates]

Wow, that was a great story guys. Loved the reciprocal footage of Bacchus sailing. You really captured the feeling of your passage. BTW you can’t sail 6 miles with a line over the back without catching a kahawai at home here in NZ. Maybe a bit of rag tied to hook might work better?? Stay well and safe in Panama.....

[@sailingbacchushome944]

Thanks Ross! Our fishing luck improved markedly once we reached the home paddock (the Pacific). We've enjoyed plenty of tuna since we got through the Panama Canal!

[@scottgenius9189]

Great sailing a Beneteau is definitely on my shopping list

[@sailingbacchushome944]

Yeah, they're a good little ship, we love ours!

[@jackk7030]

Ha guys, I think you are going to have trouble with that bowline on the headsail coming undone, it’s needs a Scotchmans twist after you have done the bowline, I think it is called, all the best 👍🍺

[@jlsinchina]

Well done!

[@slobmarley9070]

Great vid you two!

[@TheShawline]

Congratulations on your epic journeys. I own a 2000 361, so really impressed to see how versatile they can be. Of interest, do you ever remove the baby inner forestay with the view of improving clearance of the Genoa clew when going about in mild weather day sailing ? Carry on the good work.

[@sailingbacchushome944]

We've asked a few people about removing the babystay but have always been told its not a good idea.

[@roncanizares9966]

If you get a chance, try to find Stugeron 15mg in a pharmacy. It is the off shore sailor's best friend. No seasickness and no side affects.

[@kerriannebenjamin4234]

You might need to slow down so the fish can catch up. Another great vlog

[@Blogie]

29:02 “Faster, faster, c’mon!” said this guy.

[@jackievantuil2115]

Really enjoyed this episode, and you had a very fast passage! We were most impressed with your windvane.....does it hold course well in surfing conditions? Also wondered about Dani's sea sickness.....does Dani take anything? I also suffer with sea sickness, and I do take some meds and also eat lots of crackers to settle the nausea. We really enjoy all your videos, and you are our favourite couple on KZbin at the moment.....keep up the good work and enjoy your journey.

[@sailingbacchushome944]

Thank you! Yeah, the Hydrovane steers a better course than our hydraulic autopilot in surfing conditions. I've been thoroughly impressed by it! Dani takes half a sea-sickness tablet sometimes, and also eats quite a few crackers!

[@bluetickhound16]

Out of curiosity, did you consider Bocas del Toro as a place to land? Much calmer, and less expensive to boot!! Colon puts you closer to the canal for sure, but the pucker factor getting in would make it worth considering going elsewhere!! While you’re there, be sure to stock up on Ruiz coffee!! Duran is ok, but once you’ve had the Ruiz, you’ll be ruined for almost any other coffee!

[@sailingavocet]

We would LOVE to visit Bocas Del Toro

[@HMFamilyLife]

@@sailingavocet Did you have to give notice you were sailing to Panama, or did you just show up.

[@arcturusarcturus1552]

The Hydrovane seems to be taking things in stride. Send your video to the Hydrovane folks !

[@itsmePassportBro]

For the sea sickness inner ear problem, Did she eat any ginger or travel calm original. To help.

[@sailingavocet]

We also recommend ginger! Tried and true!

[@gavingrantham136]

Rubbish - I am not sure what parts of India you went to but have traveled to a few place's and the amount of trash that you saw there including the human waste shocked me.

[@Sailspirit99]

“And then there’s this guy...” 🤪

[@aldoacitelli]

I like your haircut. Do you do that yourself?

[@sailingdream7491]

If they don't allow you to land in Panama there's no sense to waste your time in anchorage. It would be better to stack up and move further towards your destination. Wishing you fair winds. Enjoy your videos. Greetings from Azerbaijan

[@Anmeteor9663]

Yeah, first

[@AJ-qp3tg]

piece of advice leave as soon as possible. You will need 3 line handlers; there volunteers .panlinehandler.com

[@elitedavidhorne8494]

Rubbish is "worse than India" Wow. That's bad.
