Live (almost) from Panama Canal- Volendam Transit 4-22-23

[TiogaCruiser]

Good morning all,

 

Volendam is transiting the canal today., Atlantic to Pacific. We’re currently off the coast Limon Bay awaiting our pilots with lots of other ships, at anchor awaiting their turn also. I’m hoping others aboard see this and contribute.

 

Last I heard we’re due in Gaton at 7:30ish.
