Panama Canal trip January 2014

We anchored in La Plaita anchorage at Panama city on January 5th and Jane,Davids sister arrived on the 9th and we had a lovely but exhaustion time with her as we did a lot of sightseeing of the old Spanish town, the Panama canal, old ruins from the time of Henry Morgan and into the jungle

In the Miraflores Locks.



Large Mærsk cargo ship at Culibra Cut.


Culibra Cut was the most difficult part of building the Panama canal, and thousands of men died in proceess one hundred years ago.

Every evening we went swimming from the boat to reed the sweat of the day and before we relaxed in the cockpit with a sundowner.
