03/21/08 0800 hrs. Pearl anchored at Gamboa, in the Panama Canal, about mid way between the Atlantic and the Pacific. Update: There were a few delays in the our transit of the canal last night - NOT caused by the Pearl which would have resulted in a mega fine, so we could not make it all the way through and anchored at 0300. The pilot departed and we are now waiting for our replacement pilot to finish the transit. We were on the web cam at about 1030 last night in the Gatun lock. Today (Friday March 21) we will be in the Miaflores locks on the web cam about 1130 - 1330 Wash. DC time. Just saw a large gator swimming close by the port side, lookin' for breakfast. Everyone clustered inside, doors dogged shut. Tina and Braun Aboard the Nordhavn 62 Grey Pearl http://www.nordhavn.com/news/pressrelease/greypearl_rides_again.php
