From Bahamas to St Martin we were beating the entire time. Domonic was with us until T&C. Good to have his experience. Curaçao to Panama was tough. Mix of no wind, heavy wind and high seas, thunder and lightning. Ghost ship. Panama Canal crossing could not have gone any better. Swell in La Playita is a bit annoying.
