Today we sailed through the locks of the Panama Canal. It was very interesting seeing how the brilliant engineers of this canal managed to raise us up 65 feet and then back down 85 feet once we had crossed the land. It takes about 9 hours and we spent much of the day sitting around outside watching the whole process. If you would like to see us going through the canal in about 5 minutes of time-lapse photography, go to Jeff's website at: http://jeffwarnerphoto.blogspot.com and click on the December 7th posting. That's probably the best way to get a feel for how it works. I'm glad I got to experience it.
