After lots of preparation, we finally set sail from Panama to cross the Pacific Ocean on our Leopard 47 catamaran. Things start out well as we catch a couple of fish and fly our spinnaker in the light winds but eventually we get stuck in the doldrums and the engine has to take over. We provisioned heavily with extra diesel supplies and this is our first opportunity to try out our drill pump to re-fuel our tanks underway.
This is the first episode in our Pacific Crossing series. We hope you enjoy the ride!
