The Panama Canal

Blue Sky's Voyage

Hello Friends "9:07.15N 79:42.29W"

Just a quick update to put a dot on the map half way through the canal.

We had a very smooth - almost fun - passage up through Gatun Locks yesterday afternoon and we're just having tea in the morning peace of Gatun Lake, awaiting our Advisor for today for the remainder of our transit across the lake, through the Gaillard Cut and down through Pedro Miguel and Miraflores Locks into the Pacific.

Thansk for all the emails.

Lots of good photos - we'll d a proper blog very soon.

Best Wishes

George, Michael, Alex, Matt and Laurence (our temporary 4th linehandler)
