The transit through the canal went as smooth as it could. I was a line handler and snagged some photos when I was able to. The lighting was beautiful and it was an incredible experience. It was my captain's first time through the canal, along with the crew so they were all a bit nervous! We had huge ships in the locks with us which was incredibly intimidating but fascinating to watch. We went through the first set of locks Tuesday night then anchored in Gatun Lake. The next morning we woke early and head through the second set of locks, finally making our way into the Pacific ;)
Due to technical difficulties, AKA my computer dying or falling ill I will not be able to post any photos at this time from the transit. Jaime, my other crew member and budding photographer has taken some wonderful photos from the trip. Please visit her blog at www.jaimesun.wordpress.com
We are heading to the Galapagos tomorrow and scored a spinnaker while in Shelter Bay so, we should make pretty good time, as long as there is some wind ;)
*Note: I managed to snag a couple photos.....more to come...
