Stardate makes history as we cross the Panama canal from the Atlantic side to the Pacific; her first time in Pacific waters!
But, before that, there's tons of preparation, both for crossing the canal and getting geared up for our most epic crossing yet aftwards,
from Panama City to Galapagos, Ecuador, where we will spend a month before venturing onward to French Polynesia.
In this video we'll answer the question: how do you plan and organize a transit through the panama canal?
How expensive / how much does it cost to cross the Panama canal?
Come see what it's like to pass through the canal, witness the procedures,
find out about the costs involved, and learn some fun facts along the way, as we make Stardate history.
Come follow along with us a we live the sailing life, and travel around the world to explore new places, and ultimately circumnavigate the globe.

I really enjoyed the timelapse crossing the Panama Canal, it is certainly a great achievement to cross to the Pacific Ocean. Great video! Stardate and crew have a big journey ahead, and I look forward to see how it turns out. Safe travels and great work!

Come north to the Alexander Archipelago. Cruising waters of the S/V Miss Aoy, I just hauled out yesterday for spring hull work and as always more upgrades. Miss Aoy is a 4 cabin version 1998

lol thanks for pointing that out Dale. I'm not sure if the total bill came quite to $2500 but with import fees shipping and taxes and to have someone install it, with a base price on Defender.com of $1,200 US, I dont think its that bad. Either way there's lots of positives in the video as well. Funny how folks are drawn to the AIS thing! thanks for watching and all the best!

Isnt it your fault for not checking when you decided to go, what the hell are you buying at 2500 , its much cheaper than that, why the blame for lazyness

Hi David, I did check! - that's me checking! and then sharing my feelings on the matter with my viewers on my video. Is that okay? This channel for me is about sharing my real experiences with the world, as I continue to learn and grow as a sailor and traveller. I don't recall if the cost ended up being $2500 after import taxes and installation but that was the information I had at the time, and I didnt want to take a long time dwelling on the AIS matter - however I agree I could have followed up with the final cost once it was complete. Looking on Defender.com its $1200 for a Raymarine send/recieve AIS before shipping, taxes, import duties, and installation. So $2500 seems pretty fair and then the reality was probably something more likt $1800-$2000 at the time. I'm not sure why you're so bothered by it that you decided to leave this comment but I will continiue making real and honest videos about my experiences as I have them, and I'll keep sharing them with my viewers. I hope you'll keep following along for the adventure as I continue to try to keep it real and honest. If you want just good times there's plenty of other sailing channels for that. Best, Matt

complaining about what is the modern accepted ais system makes you look cheap and the rant against the Galapagos system of admin was petty and bitter

Hi Mark, I'm disapppointed to read your comment here. I wonder if you've considered how your complaining about a 10 second rant in a 24 minute video makes you look... This channel for me is about being real and honest, and sharing my experiences with the world, not as some hot-shot or expert, but as a regular guy who quit his job and is learning all about what it's like to sail around the world. This is part of my learning. I think it would be inauthentic for me to try to gloss over that detail - it hurt having to fork out $2500 out of nowhere, and that's the reality., and if that's too much for you to handle without leaving a negative comment then that's sad. I wish you all the best.

You are right. Requiring this stuff is just a way to push the costs up so only the rich can afford it. There are some cheaper options out there. Maybe a AIS company lobbies for this rule;).
