Colliding With A Whale Shark Off Panama City - Ep. 75 Thula Sailing

This is another sailor's nightmare besides your rigging coming down in the middle of the Pacific Ocean - running on a HUGE marine creature with your boat. Join us on our 400nm sail from Costa Rica to Panama with LOTS of marine wildlife encounters & wind conditions we have to tackle. Approaching uninhabited, very sketchy charted islands at night with the help of our radar, up to 38 knots of wind around Panama's "Punta Mala" (comes up to it's name!!) - and then: jumping tunas, turtles, rays, dolphins, glowing jellyfish, an intense algae bloom - and a whale shark encounter way too close for our taste! Enjoy! :) Ilja & Janna More Info & Support: www.thulasailing.de AND https://www.patreon.com/thulasailing Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thulasailing Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thulasailing
