We quit our office jobs and have been driving offroad around the world since 2018. Now, as of 2024, we're learning how to sail as we live and work on our Catamaran as we circumnavigate. www.saltysunrisesailing.com
As we were headed back to the big city on Nuku Hiva the wind and dolphins seemed to beckon us a different direction so now we're at Ua Pou
It lost connection. Bye bye 💸😬
No fish, but Kelsey was able to reel in our hand line before a big sailfish got it! He took some bits and followed it up to the boat. glad we didn't hook him!
After waiting on the canal, the canal transit and now provisioning on the other side and running endless errands its finally time to get away from the city!! We slow sailed to a nearby island and there isn't a building in sight. 😍 Plus, we caught a Giant Trevally!
8 years ago while Overlanding the Pan American Highway camped in the jungle looking at the Canal we met a guy who would become one of our best friends. Today we had him and his wife, and a couple of other cool travelers, on board our boat to head through the canal. 4 days ago we were filling out paperwork while people told us it was crazy to not use an agent or that we would have to wait a month or two to cross. Yesterday we called to see if we were in the schedule and heard we had a rare and coveted one day, daytime crossing. It was exhausting and so much fun to share this with friends from Panama. This is what traveling is all about for us. Putting yourself out there to meet people from completely different backgrounds that are exactly the same as you. 😁😍🤙
The elusive one day Panama Canal crossing begins tomorrow. No agent used and it all seemed so easy we're a little scared we did something wrong. 😬🤞🤷🏼♂️
The forecast called for 12 knots of wind decreasing, but we had 17 to 30 for a couple hours. We kept heading down wind to make sure we didn't overload the rig to keep the apparent wind low. It was a wild day of surfing your home.
When worlds collide. As we sailed closer to Panama the mountain ahead of us happened to be the one we camped at in our Land Cruiser years ago as we drove the Pan American Highway. We camped up on a hill the day before shipping our truck to Colombia looking out at the water in 2018. Now, here we are in the ocean headed right towards our old spot. Our cubicle office dwelling selves never would have thought we'd do either adventure, let alone both.
