We are scheduled to transit the canal on Monday and Tuesday (May 17-18th). We will leave between 6:30am and 7:30am (Central Standard Time) from the Balboa Yacht Club and will get to the first set of locks (Miraflores Locks) in about 20 minutes. You can watch us on the Panama Canal webcam for the Miraflores Locks (http://www.pancanal.com/eng/photo/camera-java.html):
We will pass through a second set of locks before entering the lake where we'll stayover for the night. We will then complete our transit on Tuesday passing through the Gatun Locks (webcam again) and into the Caribbean! Our plan is then to stay at the Shelter Bay Marina on Tuesday night, return our extra lines and tires (fenders), and be on our way up the Windward Passage to Providenciales (Provo), Turks & Caicos.
You can track us via the SPOT link ("Follow our bread crumb trail") on the upper right hand corner of the blog.
Until then...
Congratulations on your fast and successful trip to Bermuda. We've enjoyed watching your progress. Hope that new windlass base is working out OK.
