After nearly two weeks, we are today (Sunday 27th
March) beginning our journey to the Pacific Ocean. Although only 40-odd
miles in length, we will be transitting the Panama Canal over two
days, mooring for the night on Lake Gatun. If anyone has too
much time on their hands, we might be able to be seen on some of the Canal
webcams. The link for the webcams is below:
This particular page is the camera located at the
Gatun Locks (the first set of locks coming from the Atlantic side), and is
pointing east. Across the top of the picture are tabs for opening the
other cameras. Today we will only be visible on the two Gatun cameras, and
tomorrow (Monday) on the Miraflores Locks cameras.
Our current time for pilot boarding is 1530 local
(2030GMT), which hopefully means we will be entering the Gatun locks around 1600
- this makes it around 9.30 / 10.00 pm UK time and obviously an hour later for
anyone in France who might be interested. (A bit too late for a school night
really).
Tomorrow (Monday) we are likely to be entering the
Miraflores locks around 11am local (5pm UK time).
Happy viewing!
