Upon approach to the Panama Canal Bay You go through the Break Water. Piles of Big Concrete Blocks form a wall on either side. When approaching this you call the port control for permission to enter the bay.

This appears to be an abandoned apartment building. But I think some homeless guys live there now.

| Ships at Container Port | |
Also at Club Nautico Anchorage They have the Ship Yard where they off load their shipments. Quite the sight to see.

We shared the Anchorage with a crane.
A couple of Rescue Barges

| Rescue Freighters |
A couple of our cruising friends on Sail Boats

And a small freighter named El Ponky with a family living aboard

Next we venture to the flats where they measure the boats to go through the canal. This Boat is called Flint stone as in Fred Flint stone!

And then you have Tisha Baby! We are currently Anchored next to this guy with all the toys. Pancho came out and measured our boat for the transit we are hoping for November 26th. So for now we just hang out here in the Bay. As we progress I will post up dates.
That is quite a waiting list. I hope there are enough diversions to pass the time.
ReplyDeleteYou two have been doing what you are so used to doing for so long. Laid back about it, too, no doubt. I'm guessing that the excitement level is rising for a change! Will you be going into Shelter Bay for tire-fenders, lines and crew? Barb and I will be watching for and reading your blog updates. Be safe!
ReplyDeleteWonderful adventure. But, how about a poor cruisers' guide to making the transit from start to finish. What is the practicle way to do it? Is there a book? Pamphlet? Inquiring minds want to know!
