Panama Canal

PC1

We entered the Miraflores Locks on the Pacific side of the canal at 6:15AM this morning.

Miraflores-1

The lock gates can be seen opening to let a tanker enter the lock as we wait for the water level to adjust on our side.

Miraflores-2

We have entered the lower lock and wait for the water in our lock to adjust.

Miraflores-3

Entering the Pedro Miguel lock. This is the third and highest lock on the Pacific side.
