Live from the Monarch - Panama Canal repositioning

[tahoemc]

I would like to post some of the pictures, but can only seem to do thumbnails. Can someone tell me how to paste larger pictures into my reply? Thanks.

P.S. Looks like they got through the Miraflores locks just in time - raining like crazy!!

Does anyone remember what time Monarch is going through the Gatun Locks>?

[Jennifer823]

I believe it's between 5 and 6 PM Eastern

Good afternoon everyone!!

Great pictures of us going thru the locks!! Someone caught the party on our balcony!!

We are just getting into Gatun Lake, and it's coming up on 3PM Canal time. We should be in line for the Gatun locks sometime around 5 PM....maybe later.

The weather is hot, with a bit of clouds and a gentle breeze. Now we are starting to cloud over as we get into Gatun Lake.

There are so many crew onboard that want to say "Hi" to all of their favorite 3/4 night passengers. They are sad to be leaving the west coast.....and hope that many of us will fly to the east coast to once again be on the Monarch.

I have some wonderful pictures.......plus we will purchase the DVD of the trip.

I wish that I could mention everyones name that is being missed by the crew. For one thing........it's everyone that has been posting for this trip!!

We are now getting into the main part of the lake. I'm headed back up to get ready for the next function in our cabin!!:D :D It's called the Gatun Locks party!! Look for us!!:)

Rick, thanks for checking in. Hmm, I wonder if I could leave work early to be home by the time you enter the locks?

I sure hope ther are some of hte same crew that were on when we went on Monarch last Sept & the B2B in may when we go on the inaugural EAST coast sailing. looking forward to it.

[wrp96]

I hope someone takes screen shots as it is very likely I will still be on my way home when she enters the locks.

[rubrrick]

There doesn't seem to be a HD version of this lock. How sad...:(

[ladylawyer]

It looks like a cargo ship in the the Gatun Locks now ... Am I looking at the right thing? :D

[tinkerme1]

Hi Lorna! Yep! That's it. The pictures going through this morning had a High Resolution screen, but not this one. Darn!

When are we booking the Oasis?:D :D
