Live From the May Repositioning Cruise

[Buddy Bear]

I know a lot of links have been posted about the Panama Canal, but I didn't see anyone point to these great aerial photos -

These photos can easily be missed; the key is to choose "Canal Pictures" and then place your cursor over the text depending on what you want to look at.

The first photo of Gatun Locks is a great aerial shot.

Well, it's just after 4am here on the east coast and the beginning of a very long day for me. I woke up a few minutes ago having a dream that the Magic was already through the PC and I missed it. I guess I'll turn the PC website on now, LOL!!!

We've got about an hour to go! My DD is home from school today-head cold-so I'll be able to stay glued to the computer, without all those interruptions like making lunch, getting uniform ready, driving to school-lol

This is one day I wish DS was not going to school! I don't have to commute into work but I do have the morning rush with him... uniform is already waiting for him, I'll go make lunch now. Then it will just be getting him off to school! I sure hope the ship is through the Gatun locks by then!

Hi, over in Rockaway!

Hi Andy,

Is there a secret to getting a freeze frame of the ship going through the canal. Can you just left click or not? Thought I would ask before it starts.

Thanks

 

[DisneyLovingMama]

I'm working from home today, but do have to get the kiddies to school. I'll probably miss the entrance to the locks.

 

[kpgclark]

Anyone know when they expect to enter Miraflores?

The only way I got to capture a pic of the Gatun Locks was to right click the smaller picture that appears in the upper right hand side, not the larger version of the picture. Give that a try and see what happens.

Got a question. Looking at the webcam for the Gatun Locks, where will the Magic be?
Coming from my left or right?

 

[winotracy]

Hi Peter and Jenn and everyone onboard!!! I've got my websites up and waiting to see you in the locks!

don't forget, we can e-mail the folks at the canal when Magic is in Pedro Miguel and ask to have the camera focused over there!

DH is going to try to capture the frames. Will post if it works!

Tracy

 

[Dreamer04]

Should we be seeing her now??

 

[mickeyfan1]

Entering locks at 7:30am eastern, give or take, so it may me a few more minutes.

 

[Dreamer04]

Marsha, looking at the webcam, I should be viewing theGatun Locks, right? So the Magic will be coming from my right?

 

[winotracy]

I believe you are right, they will be coming from the right.
