Pearl approaching Miraflores Locks right now

[WaldosPepper]

Watch the Norwegian Pearl approach and pass through the Miraflores Locks live here: http://www.pancanal.com/eng/photo/camera-java.html

 

I'll be watching to see if the Bat Falcon makes another appearance on the second camera again, too.

Now you know why this generation of ships is referred to as "Panamax." I cannot imagine being the one responsible for guiding a ship into those locks! :eek:

 

Come on bird!!!

Make me smile again on this cool fall Monday morning!

 

Keeping my fingers crossed that we see our adorable little raptor friend.

When sailing the canal from West to East, which locks does a ship encounter first? Gatun or Miraflores?

Sailing from the West you would cross Miraflores first, and then Gatun.
