Statendam in the Panama Canal 10/19/11

[RaceAddict]

If you're interested in seeing the process you can watch the Miraflores Locks webcam right now and see the Statendam passing through there. At present she's far off in the distance, having just passed under the Centennial Bridge and will first be entering the Pedro Miguel Locks.

That link will have the Statendam onscreen for quite a while I believe.

Thanks -- I'll check back every few minutes.

Thanks for posting the link.

I can see her in the Distance.

If you click the Centennial Bridge link she's on that cam right now in the Perdo Miguel Locks, partially blocked by a cargo ship.

 

The Mirafores Hi Res cam can also be viewed full screen, which is very cool as she approaches those locks.

Thanks -- I clicked onto that and saw her.

Thank you for the link.

Watching the Statendam, brings back memories of a fabulous trip through the Canal.

Cool, you can see all the passengers and the ship going down in water level! This is at noon (Pacific time)

It looks like she's currently in the lock, almost ready to sail on.

Here is a screen shot from my computer.

Looks like it's pouring.

Judging by the number of people on deck I doubt it's pouring.

That webcam just needs a bit of a cleaning I think. Even when it's really sunny there the lens isn't quite as clear as you'd think it should be.

 

Next cam - Going down?

That was great to watch, even saw people on the balcony of the room that we occupied.

 

Thanks again for the link.

It was heavily overcast today, 82 degrees by 1 pm, with ~70% humidity (higher earlier on, then down to 70% in the afternoon), and a 10 - 20% chance of rain. It wasn't sunny. So, while it wasn't raining, the air was very moist and icky. At least the sun wasn't out -- which would have made it a steam bath. I've been through the canal when it's HOT and sticky, and when it's overcast and rainy. Even when rainy, people were out on deck.
