CD is ready for the canal crossing

Canal advisor boarding

we have 2 boats tied to us

approaching the Gatun Locks

first monkey fists (knots at the end of the ropes) thrown to tie us up to the wall

lot of work for the captain keeping the bundle of the 3 boats steady

our trusty line handler

guiding the rope whilst it's walked up into position

That's how it looks from the outside, caught in a spiderweb

why not have a quick fish :-)

our two guests on board through the canal

The Canal is not just locks, it is also a nature reserve

All 12 boats tied up for the night

Marooned on canal buoy :-)
