This is the story of the voyages of Sal Darago, a Westerly Solway, and her two crew, Jeremy and Kathy Spencer. We left Preston in 2008 and by 2014 we had sailed around the world.In 2023 we completed our second circumnavigation. Our journeys continue as you can read below.

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.
