The first few World ARC boats to cross the Equator are now arriving in Puerto Lucia Yacht Club in Salinas, Ecuador. New ocean - new country – new hemisphere: the voyage has now truly got underway. It has been as expected a leg of light winds through the area known as the horse latitudes due to sailing ships in the past being forced to throw the horses overboard to lighten ship. Luckily no World ARC boat have been forced to take such drastic measures and horsepower has come into it’s own with many running their engines to get through the Doldrums. |

Sailboats in the Panama Canal
03 Feb Shelter Bay, Panama - While the group of ten yachts scheduled to transit today are making themselves ready, the marina has laid on a great program to keep the crew entertained during Sunday. We've had the equivalent of a car boot sale from 9am to midday with a Nautical Sweep Out on the terrace - a chance to clean out bilges of old charts, widgets, and all manner of bits and bobs. |
