My sailboat Caribbean-boound in the "old" canal lock. Photo captured from streaming video. You can see what's going on at the canal anytime you like.

Just passed through it last November on a cruise ship. Fascinating piece of engineering. The new dig is massive.

Do you have to have passport and visa to go thru the canal?

I got my “Order Of The Ditch” while leaving Panama after Operation Just Cause and the ouster of Noriega.
We got stuck in one of the lakes for almost six hours, because a cargo ship got stuck in a lock - he was moving too fast, got a little sideways and they had to use tugs to dislodge him and the they had to inspect the lock to ensure there was no real damage.
There is some BEAUTIFUL land, mountains and country sides throughout Panama!

Yes, Matt, I remember that voyage was quite the adventure for you. Sure wish I could have made it. Maybe someday...

It is amazing the tonnage that goes through that canal, plus that extra 15 tons.
