Point of No Returnlon:-75.5;lat:10.4;postdate:may 8;pos:Cartagena, Colombia

HenrikWe are in the Pacific Ocean. The canal transit went smoothly and was overall an enjoyable experience. We spent one night in the Gatun Lake, where we were invited to a party, we saw crocodiles, and made it on time to the locks.

Ahead of us now is thousands of miles of ocean, and it is our only way back home. We will spend a few more days to get organized here in Panama City (and fix the website so we can upload photos) before we set sail. Next stop will probably be Las Perlas, and after that Galapagos, Marquesas, Tuamotu, and so on.

HenrikWe are in Portobelo and are enjoying ourselves. The canal authorities say we will go through the canal on May 5th. We need one more line handler so give us a shout if you want to help!

HenrikHere is a video of the nurse shark we caught in San Blas. It was too big to eat so we let it go. Click on the red arrow: >

HenrikWe are in Colon in Panama and are waiting for a canal transit.

On our way here we caught a shark in San Blas, almost got run over by a tanker without navigation lights, and ran out fuel between the breakwaters of the harbour. Our newly modified windpilot is working well, and held our course for almost 24 hours.

We are in Shelter Bay Marina. It is nice but too expensive, so today we will move to the Flats.
