While sailing 12,000 miles our new Seawind 1600 catamaran’s steering system was failing one part at a time putting us in potentially dangerous situations. After discussion and research Seawind agreed to refit the steering while we were in remote French Polynesia, hopefully freeing us to answer the call of adventure once more. 

This week the boat work continues at Linton Bay Marina in Panama. We have a few projects to wrap up, most importantly the work on our rudders and their cases. As usual we encounter a couple hurdles. Join us as we put our boat back together and try to get her floating again!

Join us this week in Linton Bay, Panama as Wanderlust is hauled out of the water for some much needed TLC. If you’re curious what kind of maintenance a 2 yo performance sailing catamaran needs, this one is for you! This period has also given us time to reflect a bit and we shared a bit of our introspection in this episode.
