Woof !! We are maybe 100 miles out, the little green light came on about a half hour ago, so I'm swapping satellite providers: death to INMARSAT. I can link to my home source, so hope to gosh this gets out. Have to say that third world countries have way better wireless links than we do; I'm thinking fork AT&T and all the little clone baby Bells that followed that rat cluster.

Whoah, fun stuff. Lots of reading to do. We have a few hours to go before we make the breakwater, and then we turn the corner and tuck into Shelter Bay for some I & I and a real washer/drier and a solid hot shower.

Okay - will start transit tomorrow (Sunday). We have a Pilot and between him and the Skipper, I'm just a tourist on this bus. So, have laptop, will commo. Will be good till sometime late 18th

Ciao. John



You guys have really been hauling ass, John! You didn't waste any time getting out of the way with the first two named storms heading toward the Leeward Islands. Enjoy the transit. I've never seen Panama. Been through the Suez 6 times, but no locks or anything fun like that.

Locked up Gatun and lining up for Pedro. Missed our FFG so we're locking up with a cement truck from Charleston. Damn, we have better food than they do.

I am getting tempted to peak into the AI's side but don't want to wreck any surprises. It has been performing well and despite my best efforts is succeeding in surprising me.

Buenos dias.

There is a live webcam at the Miraflores locks, but the angle may not give us a view of your boat.

http://www.pancanal.com/eng/photo/camera-java.html?cam=Miraflores

The cam is currently pointed North, but a little high to see smaller boats.

John, when do you estimate reaching Miraflores, and what does your boat look like. Maybe we can catch a glimpse of you in transit.

I'm seeing 1:05 Lima and 6:05 Zulu on the box. We should lock through Miraflores in maybe 20 minutes. We're crankin hard and just behind "Builder" out of Charleston, registered Liberia. She has a dark hull, only one set of bridge wings and a green funell band. We lock through on her transon. Side tied to a tug.

We are an Andrews 62, very tall mast (four spreader rig), flat superstructure, wide butt, big open cockpit. We know about the Miraflores webcam, and will yell to heaven so they catch us, if they are awake.

Raining here off and on. But I got pics.

Ciao. John
