2013 Panama Cruise
Entering the Canal - 1/21/2013
Revised Monday, June 17, 2013
We entered the canal area at daybreak. We locked through on the left side.
Note the positions of freighter on the left and the cruise ship on the right.
The gates have now closed on the left
The freighter is now higher than in the last shot
The gates are closing. Note where the gates are relative to the 'windows'.
These ate the electric "mules" that keep us centered in the locks.
See the bus and cars crossing on the gates?
This is the only way across the canal for 40 miles!
Look how much higher the cruise ship is now. Watch it in the next 5 photos!
They are opening our gates. The freighter is now in the last lock.
The freighter is in the lake. Want to walk to work like these guys?
Everybody is out to see what's going on.
This looks like a great way to cruise!
Next!
One of our "Mules"
