Panama Canal Vacations, Panama Canal Vacation Reviews, Tourism Guide

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.
