Two trips in one, as we start with a 250+ mile downwind sail towards Panama & the famed San Blas Islands, before shifting into inshore mode and transiting the famed Panama Canal and into the Pacific!

Transiting the Canal and entering a new ocean is a bucket-list adventure for us at 59º North, and adding a little ocean sailing on top is the icing on the cake!

NEW PASSAGE! The return passage to San Diego will be a more technically-focused and educational ‘Sail Training Passages’. We’ll spend more time in-port prior to departure diving deep on the details of seamanship, from weather routing and forecasting to knots, splicing, chart work, systems and more.
