John Cuzner has sailed many rallies and Atlantic crossings, sailing over 100,000 nm mostly offshore, in three 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 four 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!
