I like following your trip- I would love love more shots of the boat- more of Other people - than just self. Excited to see San Blas☺️

[@RNVOS]

Looking great you two! Islands abound coming your way! Careful with hurricane season, it’s supposed to come early this year! ❤ from 🇨🇦 BC

[@btrent9244]

Outstanding video. Enjoy the Atlantic and all it has to offer.

[@sailingyahara]

Congrats guys!!!

[@Trueblue1061]

So excited for you - Caribbean here you come!!!!

[@sailingnoboundaries]

I’ve been waiting for you to pass through the canal since we met in Annapolis! Looking forward to your Carribean adventures.

[@MakingOurWay]

There are some good ones to come!

[@thurst01]

Just picked up you guys, your journey and your Channel. I have lots of back episodes to watch! Nice to meet you both!

[@MakingOurWay]

Welcome aboard!

[@seedillume9169]

I am glad you made it through. I am excited to see more of your adventures, albeit in 4k and not 1080p. 😊 But still loved the 60fps. Thank you for sharing your lives with the rest of us landlocked people. It is a nice escape for us as well.

Gives an idea how there are far fewer yachts going west to east that you don't end up rafting up with other yachts in that direction.

[@robertbuendia8984]

Very cool

[@Captin7Seas]

Great vid - would be nice to SEA how you deal with all those folks on board when trying to sleep in such a small boat - very similar to mine and part of what I wonder about as I plan to cross too - and all the costs. Maybe do a follow up on those issues would be great

[@MakingOurWay]

Thanks! Our one hired line handler got dropped off the night before and he slept in the cockpit for a few hours, and my brother was in our quarter berth as he was visiting for several days- but other than that no one else spent a night aboard.

[@phil29681]

Congratulations! Hope you didn't step on a pop top!

[@CharlieBrown0507]

That last bridge minute 18:21 is not the Bridge of the Americas. It is the Atlantic bridge hence the name. The Bridge of the Americas is the first bridge you went under in the pacific side. Towards the end at minute 20:01 that was a US Army base called Fort Sherman.

[@joshuareece5045]

I can't wait to make that same trip on my own someday.

[@CesarSimoes]

Lovely video make us wonder but… how much cost to cross $$$$$. ???

[@mattwilson8290]

Love me some Taylor

[@user-retsailor]

Congrats ! Now, you get to enjoy the lovely Caribbean.....

[@lindsaygrams8373]

I really enjoyed this episode it was a really nice viewing of the Panama Canal the best one I've ever seen yet the scenery shots was really good thank you

[@MakingOurWay]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@johndavidson6867]

Now you get to have a whole new cruising experience,

[@krisnace]

Congratulations amazing video thank you for sharing. Stay safe and God bless

[@rainfinger]

Great video, presently we are in Brazil, recommending this crossing from Cabo Verde in January, landing in Salvador or Aratu (Bay of All Saints) in time for Carnival.

[@user-pe6hh4rp6c]

So glad to see yall❤

[@talleroceanos4291]

Congratulation

[@carlcantrell4781]

And then, after you got all of the way through, you realized, "Oh crap, I forgot something" so you have to go back. 🙂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@edgarchegwin961]

Hi Mike and Taylor, great video of your crossing through the Panama canal, are you by any chance stopping by Cartagena, Colombia ?. I live in Colombia, should you be around the area of Cartagena we may have the opp to meet in person, feel free to conatc me, rgs

[@MakingOurWay]

Aw that’s so nice! we actually did spend some time in Cartagena (we loved it!) but we are now in the Bahamas. Enjoy Columbia!

[@edgarchegwin961]

@@MakingOurWay Got it, enjoy yourselves ur time in the Bahamas, I went to Nassau years ago on a cruise ship, I loved it, rgs

[@CesarSimoes]

Sorry my English is my thirth language

[@thomasthornton5737]

😀😀👍👍👍❤

[@carikazik7118]

What does it cost to use the canal

[@MakingOurWay]

It was something like $2,000 for a boat Via’s size. You also have to provide a deposit of about $1,000 at the start which gets refunded once your cross through.

[@mattwilson8290]

Makes me sad. You're going backwards. Why would you leave the south pacific? Willingly?

[@MakingOurWay]

Having dogs changes the game out here.

[@mattwilson8290]

@@MakingOurWay the south pacific is my dream destination.

[@christip20]

I just realized another one of the reasons I like watching you guy’s, you make lots of sacrifices for your Dog’s that many people probably wouldn’t appreciate, but I do. I do all kinds of work arounds too because I’m not leaving mine “in jail” with strangers who don’t love her like I do & if she can’t fly in the Cabin, we fly private. I’ve flown horses overseas for races too , and they talk about all the horror stories about things that happen to “Pets” that were flying in Crates, or that got out or disappeared. It’s gotten better traveling within the States with Dogs, but overseas is still problematic…Sailing Sunday doesn’t seem to have any problems, but I imagine they’re only going where it’s not a problem. I just assumed it was more paperwork, but I was wrong about that…many Countries require a quarantine period which is “in jail with strangers” to me & not happening!! 😂 🐶

[@HopeOfJoe]

Yes you did it‼️ Totally loved the entire journey. 🎉 Since you are NW folks, you will absolutely love the Caribbean. You can spend years there to see / explore it all. See you next time. ✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝️ 👙 🌞 ✨
