Panama Canal Transit on Briet

Yacht Briet (34', or is she 32'?), owned & skippered by Duco Pulle, was a great substitute for Serengeti (75') to transit the Panama Canal from the Caribbean to the Pacific. The story of this trip is dedicated to the memory of Phyllis Macay, one of our crew members, who was tragically killed by Somali pirates on 22-Feb-2011. Phyllis, a fun-loving and extrovert American lady, died while still pursuing her dreams.
