I have nothing else to say, but THANK YOU!
my computer was running too slow to pick up any images (or the
site was just too darn busy).
My husband will now be able to see them too this evening.
YEP, back to work.
Thank you, thank you, thank you again.
"our" ship is finally heading to CA (for our 7/30/) cruise.

How long before Miraflores? Anyone know?

 

[winotracy]

I sent an e-mail asking them to focus on the Magic in Pedro Miguel so we should start watching the Miraflores cam around noon central time.

Ok, I'm a bit confused now.

The list that was on another page (about 3 or 4 back) said that they will go through Miraflores around 1420. That is central time so that would be 2:20 central. Someone just posted 2:20 eastern. Can someone confirm - possibly on the ship????

Thanks

perdidobay,
What doe this "Me transmitte sursum, Caledoni! " mean?

 

[Dreamer04]

14:20 (2:20PM) is on Central time. Here in NY, that'll be 3:20 PM.

 

[Dreamer04]

They just posted the schedule for tomorrow's transit through the canal. Keep in mind that all times are the equivilent of Central Time (so add one hour to Eastern Time...). These times may adjust slightly, depending on canal traffic.


Pilot boards for Canal Transit at Cristobal: 0500
Entering Gatun Locks: 0630
Departing Gatun Locks: 0820
Entering Pedro Miguel Locks: 1300
Departing Pedro Miguel Locks: 1350
Entering Miraflores Locks: 1420
Cleaing last Miraflores Locks: 1530

Here is the schedule. As stated above, add an hour for Eastern Time.

 

[Cruise04]

That's what I thought but I wanted to make sure we clear on the times so people in all the different time zones don't miss this based on what we told them.

Sadly I work 7am - 3:30pm EST so I dont know how much I can capture of this afternoon's passage. Someone else have a fast pipe and photoshop on their machine?

Tracy you are just about correct just told we will be anchored for an extra Half Hour so Look For about 12:30 this is so much fun no time for chat
as you can imagine with 350 disers on board and everyone else pc time is limited...

I'm already *at* work. I leave the house at 6am, in the office for 7 and here till 330. If I leave anytime after that, especially on a Friday, traffic in Detroit will be a total PITA.

It's already covered. My DH set up something automated to capture the image every minute and then animated it (his animation is 2MB so it must have more the images in it). I'm sure he can do the same for the next big event!

 

[two-foxes]

Thanks to all of you who spent time getting those pics of the Magic! It has completely made my day!

 

[lwilliam]

This does not make Lucy happy!
Where are the people ON THIS SHIP - haven't heard from them - their
reports are keeping me going thru this 14 day cruise - knowing I can't
be there.

Woohoo!

As promised, here's the animated GIF of the Magic entering Gatun:

Unfortunately, this was as far as I got because I got bumped from the Webcam Oh, and Photobucket seems to have made the image really, really small I'd gladly e-mail the file to someone else if they have a site they can post it to.

Hopefully, this won't happen this afternoon as she goes through the Miraflores locks since maybe more people will be at work. I figured that every Disney fan throughout the world was logged on at the same time (who us )
