Panama Canal

We have our date to transit the Canal. We start on Sunday 4th April at the anchorage on the Atlantic side. We go up the Gatun Locks and spend the night in Gatun Lake. On Monday we transit the rest of the Canal. There is a webcam on the last locks called the Miraflores Locks. We should be going through about 6pm UK time. You can watch us on your computer by going on the Panama Canal website and clicking on the webcam link. We'll have 6 people on board, 3 line handlers, us and an Advisor. We might be rafted up to other yachts or tied alongside a tugboat. To give you a preview of the Canal, I'll try to post some photos on the next blog.
