It is time for us to start our long journey through the Pacific. We go anchor up and leave not only Panama the continental America. Water, diesel and food are on board, SuAn is ready to go, and so are we. Long sailing distances are ahead of us and we are a little bit nervous.

We are passing many ships, waiting for the Panama Canal transfer. The sky´s crying has stopped but the sun is hiding behind dark clouds. 20 knots Northerly wind pushes SuAn towards south. What a pleasant sailing!
