Companies are trying to get product promotions
So not just sailors advertising plebs.

So now you've just become an advertisement for sailing companies.

I would be interested in the cost and process to transit the canal. We are hoping to that later this year. You definitely grown in confidence

Great episode. The excitement mixed with extreme nervousness is very obvious. I notice the wearing of Billabong tops and Rip Curl caps has got to help you succeed! Good luck from Tasmania, Australia.

Once you get to Cocolí Locks, that's near where I lived for 4 months at Ft. Clayton while I was a MP in the Army. I hated having to go outside to do PT and getting stung by fire ants that seem to be every where.

I hoped you enjoyed your canal transit. I was a engineer officer in the Uk merchant fleet . I hate to think how many transits of the canal I have done. The canal has a a huge history of failure ,disease, and high Mortality. It wasn’t till the American army engineers took on the project that real progress was made. They had the resource to deal with the disease. Mostly mosquito borne . Considering it was opened in. If recall correct 1911. It is an amazing feat of engineering.. No doubt the thought of following a large cargo ship into the locks was a bit daunting , but safe all the same. An interesting point from a ships engineer perspective it actually takes quite a bit of power to navigate through the locks . I mostly sailed on ships that were termed as Panamax so they just fitted in the locks with about 450mm each side . We would navigate through the locks at half ahead or half engine power. Why you ask well we had to displace the water ahead of us down the sides and below the hull. For a ship of this size we would up anchour. At about 5am we would clear the final lock some 12 hours later. Going through the cut I hope you saw the monument to all those who lost their lives building the canal.
