PANAMA

Panama Pictures

The type of shifts we had to look out for in Panama waters.

It's not much wonder that some containers get lost at sea.

In the canal and tied up behind one of the smaller ships.

Rafted up with Mercury Rising and Fai Tira.

Note the small trains which control the cables to the large ships.

The Gatun Lock (1000' x 110') full of water

The other 3 yachts going through the locks at the same time as us.

The locks opening into the Pacific!!!

Enchantress anchored in the Panama City anchorage at La Playita.

A church in Panama City.

A Carnival character.

One of the floats

There were some impressive costumes.

It was sometimes difficult to know who was male or female!

One of the steel bands

One of the more frightening costumes.

The Panama City skyline from the anchorage.
