Day one or rather night one (the passage for us started later than
intended) was not hard , with a few scary moments. The canal looks huge
and mysterious at night, things are happening all around in dim lights, big ship
in front, small ship to our port (we are tied up to it) and a smaller yacht to
our starboard. A menacing looking tug boat spinning water with its huge
propellers behind us as if there was not enough confusion.
We hired two professional line handlers – a very wise choice. These
local guys were working fast and knew exactly what to do and when. Some
tough situations were avoided thanks to them. |
