There are generally two ways to apply for passage as a small boat - with or without an agent. The agent charges $450 but also takes a lot of the work off your hands. If you decide, like us, to apply yourself, you go to the website https://asem.pancanal.com/ in good time - at least four weeks before the planned passage date. ▬ keywords ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ #panamakanal #panamacanal #atlantic #atlantic #pacific #pacific #linehandler #shelterbaymarina #lintonbaymarina #grounding #panama #CentralAmerica #congreso #CentralAmerica #sailingatlantic #atlanticcrossing #barefootroute #barefootroute #bluewater #blog #bluehorizon #boatlife #boat #boating #boatprofessionals #cruising #expedition #cruisingsailing #friends #luck #hurricane #huricane #hurricaneseason #hurricane #caribbean #catamaran #lavagabonde #lagoon40 #longvoyage #longvoyagesailing #marianoa #oceansailing #plan #planinternational #roundtheworld #travelblog #travel #sailing #sailing #sailinginsieme #ship #snorkeling #sailingadventure #sailboat #sailingboys #sailing #sailingacrosstheatlantic #sailingyacht #sailor #summer, #sunset #beach #summer #sunset #svdelos #tobago #dream #travel #sailingaroundtheworld #ontheroad #vlog #vlogger #worldtrip #circumnavigation ▬ About this film ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ First the ship has to dock and then the planned transit. The boat's speed can be a deciding factor in whether the passage takes place in one or two days. After paying the determined fees - in our case it was $2,220 plus a deposit of $1,060, which will be paid back after a damage-free transit - the appointment must be arranged by telephone at +507 272-4202. The employees of the canal authority all speak excellent English. A further call one day before the agreed appointment is to inform them whether the advisor will be picked up at 4:00 a.m. or 4:00 p.m. in the anchorage in front of the Shelter Bay Marina - nautical waypoint in the bio. If you start in the morning, the passage of the canal can be made in one day - can. If you start in the afternoon, you can expect to spend an overnight stay on Lake Gatun. The crew of a small vessel consists of the skipper, four line handlers and the advisor. In order to find enough line handlers, there is the WhatsApp group "Panama Canal Linehandler Exchange". It is usual for the volunteer line handlers to work for free, but the cost of the return trip by taxi or Uber is covered - currently $80. Professional line handlers are provided by the agents.

For this we bought a catamaran with which we set off on the barefoot route from the French Atlantic coast at the beginning of March 2021. For many years, sailing around the world had been my (Hannes') big dream, which I wanted to realize when I reached retirement age due to my job. But sometimes life turns out differently than you plan. In the spring of 2020, I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Suddenly my life accelerated considerably, I sold my house, cleared out my household goods and started buying mountains of ship's equipment. "Cast off!" was planned for the beginning of March 2021 - and that's how it happened, despite Corona. Brigitta was of course completely surprised at first, even though sailing around the world fit much better into her professional life as an early retiree than into mine. In the last 6 months, however, she has made amazing progress and is looking forward to our big adventure just like me. Plan International is an international children's aid organization. On our trip, we don't just want to chill in dream bays, we also want to visit Plan's program countries and document the work there.
