Not your typical Panama video. Very cool Nahoa!

I sure miss seeing you guys on a regular basis. Congratulations on another success.

Fair winds and following seas, Nahoa crew! Congrats on conquering the Panama Canal-excited to see your next circumnavigation adventure unfold! 🌊⛵🌍

The narration/voiceovers are greatly improved! Ben - you sound much more relaxed and comfortable. I know narration is hard, so WELL DONE! 😊

Great informative video with a great mix of old and new film. 👍to the crew too. Always a pleasure to watch you so thankYou for bringing us along. 😊😊

Very cool! I have now been through the canal 5 times. Twice helping others and 3 times on our own boat, a K Peterson 44 cutter. It was right when the canal was being turned over to Panama. Once admeasured, (about $350, we could transit for $90! So went E to W, W to E and and then back over to the Pacific to stay. Loved cruising Panama, both sides. We were going to stay there for 2 wks, but spent 2 yrs. Great cruising and Scuba (our other passion). We ran charters in the San Blas for a very lucrative season. Then the Las Pearlas. We didn’t have KZfaq to make money with. So took people on 1-2 wk charters, sailing and diving. Usually 2-3 months of chartering paid for the rest of the year! Have followed you guys from the beginning. Great documentation. THANK YOU. And bless your wonderful family.

Woops, I accidentally deleted my comment from this morning while I was cleaning up my KZfaq history. Sorry. Thanks to everyone who voted to keep Ben's voice-overs. 👍

What a great crew, and Ashley's mom got to experience the canal!

Wow, what an experience to enjoy! Kudos to Peter and Monica for helping out and seeing the Panama canal from such a unique perspective!

Welcome to the Pacific Ocean , Nahoa!

Thanks guys, really interesting. Nice job working your way through the Canal. Stay safe we love y'all. 👍🏻💕🐾

How wonderful to have 3 generations for such an epic adventure.

Congratulations on your incredible journey through the Panama Canal 🎉🎉🍾🍾🍾 prayers for continued safe travels 🙏🙏🥰⛵️⛵️

Well done guys! This definitely brings back memories of our crossing!

Learned so much from your experience things I never knew about the panama canal. Fascinating!

I hope to be a good as dad as Ben. You really are a role model.

Loved the "just kidding. I'm not gonna feed these people." A smooth transit for second round🙂

Such a wonderful video! I would love to go through the Panama canal, how exciting! Great to have the 2 friends and your mom onboard as well. I have been looking for a new video, so glad all is well and you went safely through the Panama canal! ❤

Love you guys! I really like the v-neck Nahoa t-shirts. Safe travels. ❤

Not many kids in the world will ever get the chance to experience what you’re allowing your little ones too, I applaud you for giving them the chance to have such a great adventure. What they’re getting won’t be available for much longer, hell, I got a visit from the police when someone complained about me climbing trees with my son when he was 5 😢 Your kids will one day thank you for allowing them to experience growing up this way.

Incredible!! it's such a massive experience. Hard to imagine all those workers doing this complicated work every day. takes so much discipline and focus. Happy trails on the Pacific guys!

20:05 "We'll stop and have some lunch because you know, this isn't a booze cruise, but it is a food cruise, across the lake. I'm just kidding. I'm not feeding these people." LOL

Absolutely amazing footage taking us along through the Panama Canal!! And Canadian maple syrup is the best! 🇨🇦

That first bridge you went under is new since the last time you traveled the canal.

Yay been waiting for these videos!!!

13,413th tag-along view gonna happen... "...civilization - see ya!!" (best sailing channel tag line).

The history and animations were very informative. Well done. Thank you for sharing.

Great video guys! First time I see one of your videos...

Yes in the 1920s Oxy-acetylene welding,in the UK so I am sure it was around in America They were two gases from tall tanks piped to what they call a torch with a welding rod that was for different types and depths of metal. Also you had to make sure you switched the knobs to get the right blue center white flame for the heat. I used to weld that way also could be used under water if an expert for that jobs.

What a treat !!! Tyvm 🙏

I was stationed in Panama with the U.S. Military during the 1980’s, which was the Panama Canal transition from the U.S. to Panama control. The U.S. military left Panama in 1999. This was the year Panama took full control of the canal.

Thanks for the great informative video. Fair winds on the Pacific

OMG I must have missed this video. Love y'alls new intro! Stay blessed..🙂

Congrats. What a great episode. The new beginning or moire great adventures. Thank you for sharing with us

ONTARIO PROUD 😊

Absolutely wonderful share of your second crossing. This is on my bucket list!!!! Ya'll always give the best show and narrative of your experiences. Go Well into the gorgeous Pacific. ⛵

I spent a couple weeks at Howard Air Force Base in the very early 90’s. Weird to see things abandoned, sure makes me feel old!!

So happy to see you guys, I've been looking.

Awesome vid and really pleased to see your still so full of life and enjoying your sailing, stay safe

Congratulations again. What an awesome experience.

Thank YOU guys for posting!

So cool guys! Great adventure. ⛵🌅

Brilllllliant Nahoa - thanks for the inspiration and sharing ⛵️

Thank you for sharing an exciting experience on the Panama canal, so interesting

I went over that bridge about 6 weeks ago! What a great video!

❤you guys!! Keep getting off the boat and exploring

Thanks for sharing your experience. I throughly enjoyed this episode

More please! Nahoa is BACK!!

A fascinating video and did not realise you were able to do your own line handling. I had heard there were issues with water levels in Lake Gatun to serve the needs of the canal so great you could get through. My only comment is that I was truly surprised you were not wearing gloves as having somebody suffer a rope burn would be bad news. Here's to the next set of videos from the Pacific. Enjoy!!!

I had an older cousin stationed in Panama in the 80s. I need to see if he may have been stationed their. Panama canal videos amazes me, the engineering behind it. Thanks for a great video

Missed you guys!

That was really great! I enjoyed the black and white clips too! Very interesting! Thank you for the explanations along the way.

Pretty darn cool, again!

I love traveling with you, thank you!❤

Thanks sooo much for taking us along, not sure if I will ever get a chance to do this for real!

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is also hot riveted. 1932.😊

Well done Kim, Monica and Peter. Good work.

Hello and goodbye from one of your Panama viewers (Pacific coast)! 🇵🇦 Safe onward travels! 🧡

Welcome to Panamá...

US Army Jungle Warfare course in 1985. A platoon from Victoria attached to a battalion from the US 82nd Airborne division. Ft Sherman was an interesting place back then.

My Grandfather was stationed in Panama during WW1 Thanks for a snapshot of the area he was in.

Here we go again.WOO HOOOO...

Good luck guys

My ancestor, Ferdinand de Lesseps, planned and made the Suez canal and the Panama Canal, the 2 greatest achievements of the French. It was not planned by the Americans, the Panama canal was purchased by the Americans at 85% of completion, because the French could not find financing to finish their project.

Brilliant video. Safe journey

I suspect that the lock doors are riveted because they're made of black iron. I have read that it lasts a long time. It can't be welded. Old ships were riveted also.

The skinny line is called a heaving line! Great video love how you cut in the old military clips…well done!

I really enjoyed this video. I've watched several other crossings but they always went through at night. This was much better and especially when you were through and in the Pacific.

great adventure

Awesome, just Awesome

Here ya go kids 😂 I joke with my kids too. I thought that was sweet, the kids cheersing with their cups too. Glad you guys made it. I'm sure the extra crew had an awesome time too..

Lol the abandoned barracks.. it looks like a murder scene 😮🥴

I would love it if, on your second time round, you would visit Busselton Western Australia. It would be great to meet you.

You were looking at the trail through the barracks. That is from vampire bats. Their poop is more yucky liquid than pelleted like other bars.

That was just awesome to watch….somehow sweeter than the first! Thank you for sharing. Cheers 🥂 LadyD

Thankyou 👍

Thank you

So cool to see all the details of a Panama Canal crossing! Wauw! Been wondering gor a while, whats up with the German flag? Is your boat registered there? Safe sailing! ⛵️

Yes

Hi guys my name is Martin and I have been following you since Covid , I was never able to give a like or comment due to limited internet access and wi-fi. I am able to verify that without your contribution to my sanity I would be a mess today. Thank you for every video you have made and posted, it is what made things bearable, I am forever grateful to you, thank you 🙏

There are other options not mentioned. Also expensive, but options. You can have your yacht transported as cargo on a large ship or you can be trucked.

That was very cool! I would have loved to be on board to do this! Whenever I get a chance to hop on a boat, I'm the first to jump in to throw fenders and lines and make sure everything goes smoothly! Just love this stuff! 👌👍♥️🇨🇦

The battery entrance at 4:08 looks a lot like the WW1 battery at Ft Totten that I explored when I lived there as a teenager. Similarly overgrown, but built from almost the same plans.

I really enjoyed this video! How much does it cost a vessel like yours to use the canal?

happy together

Sailing Naha - I recommend you read Wavewalker to see the impact your choices are having and will have on your children’s emotional well being.

Assuming vids are behind, are ya linin' up to visit Canada's east coast this summer?

Maple syrup!

A cascading south american design is just like the old water management at their farms. In the manner of concentric circles where updraft keeps the water year round

Idol your yacht is a brandnew

I can say I slept on lake gatun. They left us for 3 days we ran out of beer that was in 2007 we were delivering a 2005 lagoon 440 to haleiwa Hawaii from fort Lauderdale Florida. Had to take a 15-mile dingy ride one way just to get supplies. Had the single-handed sailor Japanese guy with only one arm aboard from colon Panama to lake gatun. He had to leave to go back to his boat to get it ready to go through the canal. Also the first time I ever heard howler monkeys.

What happened to the Mono overnight, 2nd leg? Addition of old footage was interesting, not seen before, seemed more military focussed vs civil

Finaly........you are here !!

"GUAMU ni Ikimashou" ❗👍💪❤🏝

I hope that package was road freight. Those soda stream gas bottles are a no no air freight.

Hello there from Campbell River, I really love your videos, one question, the catamaran has a TRANSPONDER, I have been trying to locate NAHOA, not been able to do it, safe sail across the Pacific.

Great video curious did you consider using the Strait of Magellan? Or would that route have taken you too far south and the Pacific? Versus all the fees of the Panama Canal.

Now I see where Ashley gets her beauty from, Ashley’s mom Kim is a beautiful woman. 😉

Historically the term "battery" referred to a cluster of cannon in action as a group, either in a temporary field position during a battle or at the siege of a fortress or a city. Such batteries could be a mixture of cannon, howitzer, or mortar types.
