Panama Canal (2023)
East to West
Index
Miami-Panama-Miami
In the morning we finally began our transit of the Canal

Our view of the first lock

Sitting on our balcony, we watched the land go by
Here we saw how the land is being terraced to reduce erosion
You can even see the terracing reflected in our balcony doors
Tracking our progress



The last lock
The last bridge before entering the Pacific Ocean
We had to continue past many waiting ships
to sail 100 miles out to sea
as required by Panamanian authorities
