John Cuzner has sailed many rallies and Atlantic crossings, sailing over 100,000 nm mostly offshore, in 3 different sailboats with the name J’Sea. The Fort Lauderdale to Puerto Vallarta journey via Panama, was made on J’Sea, a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 44i (45.1 LOA).
John and Liz will share with us the highs and lows of this trip.
Departing Florida in March 2016, they were involved in a refugee rescue by the US Coast Guard and had a passenger pigeon take over the helmsman’s seat. They stopped in Jamaica after 4 days passing the Florida Keys and the east side of Cuba and then headed directly to the Panama Canal.
After a week waiting for a canal transit date, the transit was quite eventful – come hear the details!
