So yeah, last week WE WERE LUCKY, and it’s a good lesson in anchoring whilst not suffering the consequences, so Ill call that a win, win. After all, we don’t learn without mistakes. Now that the anchor is up and we are safely in a few hundred feet of water, where exactly are we going? Well this is the beginning of our first overnight passage on Boundless. We will be sailing across the Gulf of Panama in a westerly direction, making sure to dodge the shipping traffic along the way. And you’re in for a treat because the beauty of Panamas Western Pacific coast is on our short list of the most beautiful sights ever. Even when the weather changes and we get chased out of our anchorage, the dolphins come out to play, highlighting the silver lining of the moment.

So, just like that we were off, threading Boundless between a few outlying islands making sure to double check our charts before hitting the open ocean. We are expecting very calm conditions and possibly motoring the entire day and night, but with the huge tidal currents, and high winds forecasted that oppose them for half of every day over the next week, this is exactly what we were looking for to cross the Gulf of Panama and round Punta Mala. We’ve had an epic adventure buying Boundless, transiting the Panama Canal, and cruising the San Blas and las Perlas islands, but this moment feels different. Like we’ve truly untied the lines and set off on a grand adventure into the unknown. Who will we meet? What will we see? Where will we go and how long will we stay?
