Panama canal 2

Rogue
Alan and Noi not sure which is which
Wed 18 Feb 2009 07:08
08:20 the pilot / advisor arrives for our 07:30 appointment on the lake, it's Panama                        The adviser is the guy with the hat and he pretty much stayed in that spot for the rest of the day
 
   
 
Going throigh the Banana cut, a 20 mile transit through the lake between the upward locks and the downward locks
 
   
 
One or two bird watchers in the crew
 
   
 
Passing on the wrong side as per advisers instructions! it's Panama                                            Passing on the correct side, the canal processes 40 lock transits per day which equates to about 80 ships
 
   
 
John at the helm                                                                                                                    Near the first downward lock, a lot of work being doen to widen the canal to add a 3rd lane
 
   
 
May take a while with one lttle digger.
