The ship that our two rafts of three yachts followed into the first Gatun Locks.





The raft of three, Simanderal ( 45' Malo)in the middle because she has a bow thruster and Aspen (36'Island Packet) on the other side.






This is the ship ( Golden Wish) that followed us in as we transited alone through the Miraflores; quite a monster with just about two feet spare on either side.





Victor, our advisor on day two. I fed him well, giving all on board a full english for breakfast for a start but he just loved the ginger nuts and ate them in handfuls!!





Moonshiner out of the locks and just about to go under the Bridge of the Americas which is the entrance to the Pacific! See how grey the sky is? It absolutely tipped down a few minutes later..
