Transit through the canal was
wonderful.
Fabulous lake scenery, At 6 am there was an amazing
chorus from the monkeys that was so loud, and moved from one spot to the next as
nearby tribes were sequentially moved to song!
We spotted an evil-looking fresh water crocodile
from not far away and managed a scary close up photo.
Once over on the Pacific side there are lots of
different sea birds but the Pelicans are amazing and so clumsily graceful in
flight and when diving for fish.
You can see a picture of our line handler,
Benjamin, handling a different sort of line;
Number 42 buoy that holds all the answers;
beautiful Pelicans;
Miraflores locks;
Ed with the dramtic background of skyscrapers in
Panama city as we exit the canal on the Pacific side.
What a day!
