Meeting the Challenges of Transiting the Panama Canal
Eileen Councill
Eileen and her husband Brown have lived onboard their Leopard 44 Catamaran, Blown Away, since November 2020. They bought their boat sight unseen in St. Lucia, having never sailed before. Their first four years consisted of traveling the Caribbean, Bahamas, East Coast, and then to Guatemala, Colombia, and Panama. They transited the Panama Canal in January 2024 and crossed the Pacific Ocean to French Polynesia in March 2024. Their plan is to remain in the land of cheese and wine until April 2026.
