Sailing again and preparing to depart

After several months at Panamarina, One Cat returns to sea under sail for the San Blas and begins the final preparations for the next stage.

A wild anchorage in the San Blas Islands

We left Panama Marina under sail to reach the San Blas archipelago: enjoyable sailing, wild anchorages and that sense of freedom that reminds us why we chose this life.

Work aboard continues, now at the pace of the lagoons: painting, fitting cork to the ceiling and completing the final adjustments. It is a gentler phase, balanced between practical jobs and swimming.

These weeks mark the final straight before a major new stage. Every detail matters as we prepare One Cat in the best possible conditions.

On 3 March we will cross the Panama Canal, a symbolic milestone before setting course for new horizons.
