What site are the photos on to which you guys are referring? I don't know if it's because they are blocked at work (I'm just thankful this site isn't blocked) or something else, but I don't see them at all. I don't even see the little red x that says the image can't be displayed. It's like there is nothing there at all.

if you can't see the pictures, try going to page 25 on this thread where Allen posted 2 links to watch live webcam oh him going through the Panama Canal. If you hurry, he is about to go through the Miraflores locks in a few minutes. Actualy here are the links, might be faster....

no problem....
it must not be Miraflores that he's going through right now because it isn't showing up on the Panama webcam. It must be the middle set of locks they are in and not Miraflores which they should be there soon.

That is so cool!!!!
Thanks Nancy for posting the pics!!!!
I missed the actual time they went through, so it was really nice to see the pictures!!!

Don't they go back through the locks????
I think they do because they are going to end their cruise in FL.

 

[RanCan]

Is it just my computer or is everyone having trouble with the Miraflores locks??
I have to click onto the high resolution tab!!

HI Candy!!!
you're welcome they went through early this morning when I got up, so I was just in time to see it...yes they will go through again, but it will be very late for us here and probably really dark so you wont see very well.

no it's not just you, mine is doing that too. I'm doing like you and using the high res. tab. They will be there very shortly...the middle locks are not very far from Miraflores.

The high res looks real nice. I have twin monitors defined as one monitor, so the image is spread across both monitors.
