Panama Canal Travel Blogs

 The weather was not cooperating, it was raining, at times very hard thru most of the day while we were crossing the canal. Later I will learn that the bad weather extended to Costa Rica and San Andres island. Because it is my second time I cross from the Pacific to the Caribbean I did not min…

Not just visted the Canal, and observed from land, I drove my 270 foot Coast Guard Cutter Through it. We made the transit to the Pacific at night and again returned to the Atlantic two weeks later at night as well. The experience was almost surreal traveling through the locks and the narrow channels. It is amazing the amount of commercial traffic that is transitting through the canal 24-7. Nothing was going to stop the commercial activity, a truly impressive event that I will never forget.

Here are some pictures from San Francisco to Nicaragua I added Panama Canal and Cartagena Colombia. Added Jamaica. Added Half Moon Cay and Ft. Lauderdale, finished adding pictures from Costa Rica.

I spent October 2006 through February 2007 traveling in Central America. I started in Belize and flew home from Panama. It was a fantastic trip and I look forward to returning to some favorite spots.

Hello

Our adventure in Panama... Despite all the rain, we still managed to have a lot of fun and even a little bit of sunshine!

I was only in Panama for a few days. As much as I've enjoyed this country, I couldn't wait to get back to the Caribbean. Perhaps it was all the highrises and the very city feel that made me miss my island. Nonetheless, there are some sights to definitely see in Panama. Yes, that would include the Panama Canal.

Joining the ship i'll be working on for 6 months.
