Tomorrow we pass through the Panama Canal, the focus of the cruise.  If anyone wants to post on here lock webcam pics of the ship' transit,  go for it.  😁

This was my first shot as we entered on Legend back in 2013

 

 

 

The link to the lock webcams 😀 👍

Any idea what time you will go through the different locks Bill?  I'll set an alarm and see if I can grab a screen shot.

Yes, we should be starting into Miraflores Locks around 8 am tomorrow and it will take a couple hours there. There is no webcam at the Perdo Miguel lock. After we transit the lake we should be starting into Gatun Locks, around 1:45 pm. This is all East Coast time

Alarms set.  Unless something comes up, I'll grab screen shots and post here.

Little Blue heron

 

Great egret

 

Brown pelicans

Double-crested cormorants

Next is an Osprey, not a falcon

 

The next group of white birds are probably Cattle egrets

Today is going to be a great day. You two are going to have a blast. We thoroughly enjoyed the crossing.

Just watched the Fidelio pull out on the webcam.  Looks like you're ready to go.  I was a little worried that you'd be using the new locks and wouldn't be visible on the webcam but doesn't appear so.

Almost to Miraflores

Too small for the new one

This is a little like watching grass grow.  Nothing moves fast and the webcam only refreshes once every 10 seconds.  Looks like the water level is now dropping in the lock.

Water level dropping and we're rising
