Patience is not sitting and waiting, it is foresee

Patience is not sitting and waiting, it is foreseeing.

It is looking at the sea and seeing a fish, looking at the sunset and seeing tomorrow, looking at a ship and seeing many horizons.

Sailors have patience, they know that the moon needs time to become full.

“So how’s the Pacific?” you ask... Well, we’re still nearby the exit of the canal and the big city 🏙 so we can’t tell yet! The water is way colder than the Caribbean Sea for sure. And we even use a sheet at night - love it! We’re still waiting for a package to fix our watermaker and then... we’ll leave this skyline behind us towards open horizon 🌅

“When one door closes another door opens...”

“When one door closes another door opens...”

Soon we'll reveal the next destinations in our voyage on the Pacific!

WE MADE IT to the other side: the Pacific Ocean!

WE MADE IT to the other side: the Pacific Ocean!

With the help of 6 people, 4 lines of 50 meters and 8 “skippy ball fenders” we were able to transit Black Moon through the 2 locks - with each 3 chambers - in a tight schedule of 28 hours.

Special thanks to our linehandlers Marie and Yalçin of @teambouchonsailing and Katie of @sailingsearcher who did an amazing job💪

NEWS SPLASH 💦 This week we’ll TRANSIT through

NEWS SPLASH 💦 This week we’ll TRANSIT through the Panama Canal from the Atlantic side to the Pacific side. IEKS!

In the past days we made Black Moon ship shape for the inspection - so far so good 😅 - and to prepare the transit with SIX people aboard...

We’re really excited - it’s a BIG milestone and a NEW chapter in our journey 🌎

Changing colours of the moon 💛❤️ Final sai

Easy breezy sail between the remote islands 🏝

Doing some grocery shopping for Christmas is like.

Doing some grocery shopping for Christmas is like...

We’ve grilled and shared this BIG snapper with two cruiser friends and two local fishermen of the Kuna Yala Indian tribe on an uninhabited island 🏝

The fishermen had to wait for the moon to rise so they could sail home with some moonlight to show them the way 🌓

All I want for Christmas is... WATER 💦 After

All I want for Christmas is... WATER 💦

After living remote for almost 3 weeks we’re running out of fresh water. We only use 15 liters a day; to drink, clean and shower. Keep this in mind: this is 2 times LESS than flushing a toilet in a normal home!

With only 50 liters left we try to purchase some potable water at one of the islands, close by shore. Due to a very low pressure we’ve got our first “mañana”, meaning a lesson in patience 🙏

So after 24 hours waiting at anchor in the mangroves and a few hours of tapping we managed to fill up our tanks! We use a filter and add some chlorine to make sure the water is potable.

NOW we’re ready to celebrate Christmas nearby one of the remote islands 🏝Hopefully with some fresh fish ;) Merry Christmas y’all!

Take only trash, leave only footprints to wash awa

Take only trash, leave only footprints to wash away...

The majority of the 378 bounty islands are uninhabited, providing coconuts for the locals and offering perfect pictures for visitors, like us. Unfortunately “behind the scenes” we also find a lot of trash.

But who’s to blame? After two weeks we also have quite a collection on board. There’s no other solution - right here, right now - to burn it. In the heat of the action we also collect the trash which is washed at shore. This way we hope to return the favor...
