QE in the Panama Canal today

[Essiesmom]

She's passed under the Atlantic bridge and heading into the channel to the Gatun Locks  (tiny, upper right)

 

 

Moving down the channel toward the locks

 

 

 

 

 

All the way up in the first lock

Off to the third lock

 

 

Last view until Pedro Miguel locks, a couple hours from now.

I hear she was met by ambulances. Any news about that?

We have a friend on board, but she is fine.

These are screen shots from the canal cams.  Over the years there have been different locations for the cams, and you could see things like that.  But there were no unusual delays that usually happen with ambulances, etc.  EM

I am so enjoying this thread. Thank you.

So cool - planning on doing the transit the other way in August - is that the old or  the new locks?

QE transits the old locks.

 

The first five images that say "Agua Clara" in the upper left show that set of new locks in the foreground with a container ship going through them while QE is seen in the background heading to the older set of Gatun locks that run roughly parallel to the west of those new Agua Clara locks.

 

The next four images show QE going through the older Gatun locks from the webcam located there.
