Would You Jump in 13,000 ft of Water 100 miles Offshore? (Calico Skies Sailing Ep.106)

We need a break in the trade winds to make easterly progress from Mexico to Panama. On the second day or our passage we find ourselves in pond like conditions about a hundred miles offshore. The crew decides this would be a good time to jump into the 13,000 feet of the most magnificently blue water...Would you do it?!

Besides the swim break this video takes you along on a thousand miles passage getting our new crew acclimated to life at sea. Grace provides updates on her time in Panama, blown away by how fast airplane travel is ????.

We motor sail a couple days until we face a decision whether to attempt a diversion to Cayman for fuel or risk it and continue with the fuel onboard..
