Fiji to Panama – 7500 Miles – One Stop – New Video

Join Linda and Steve Dashew aboard the FPB 78 – 1 Cochise on a 7500 mile/12,070 kilometer record setting voyage,averaging 10 knots from Fiji to Panama against the winds and current, that has changed the prospects of cruising forever. Their 5450 mile/8770 kilometer leg, without a fuel stop, is the longest ever undertaken by a small motor yacht. You will be aboard as they thread their way through some of the most beautiful and navigationally dangerous waters on this planet. The Dashews will show you how they deal with severe thunder squalls, use modern navigation electronics, and catch fish on a state of the art meat line. You will hear stories of their past visits through the South Pacific, make a brief stop at exquisite Fatu Hiva, and learn how they do all of this in extreme comfort.

    Thanks for taking us along on the passage if only virtually. Now that we are back in Canada we actually have the bandwidth to watch your videos. It was fun to see some of our favourite places that we visited going the more traditional way downwind.

    Best wishes from the Fluenta crew.

    Cheers,

    Max
