Nexus - Half Way Through the Panama Canal



A restful but short night in the big lake in Panama, after completing our first half passage through the Panama Canal. The Canal is AWESOME, and it was really fun to watch it work, and especially to drive through it with two 40' boats rafted to our sides! The adviser was excellent and really fun to work with, and the World ARC staff did an superb job preparing us for the journey, there were no surprises other than the beauty of the area and impressive engineering and clockwork precision of the locks. We went through with 11 World ARC boats, and in the middle lock, someone in the group played the bagpipes, which gave a wonderful ambiance to the trip and solicited a salute from the horn of the freighter in the other lock. We should arrive at the middle set of locks around 11pm and pass through the last ones around noon. We look forward to being in Panama City by around 1:30.
