It was great, but like Rich says its sooo easy to mistake the periscope for something else or your brain just doesn't register it till the sub's all the way up. And then you go Holy ****

OH BTW

Check the Panama Canal crossing thread. There is running commentary because at least 1 poster is on the phone with a passenger on the Magic. The ship is nearly to the Centennial Bridge

do they go by the Centenial bridge before Miraflores Locks?

 

[Octoberbride03]

do they go by the Centenial bridge before Miraflores Locks?

yes they do go under the bridge first then the locks. and i believe they are behind the posted times.

 

[pinkygirl]

the cam is down right now, I guess the Sub is going through right now!!!

 

[Octoberbride03]

They are under the bridge right now. the Miraflores locks is next

 

[Octoberbride03]

From a blog on the ship:

Centenial Bridge
May 16th, 2008
We are currently coming up to the bridge. The URL is http://seacruisechat.com/panamacanal/centennial.htm.

 

[pinkygirl]

alright I give up LOL be back later!!!!!!

 

[Octoberbride03]

I finally figured out the stupid timestamp..... The time zone is an hour behind EC

 

[Octoberbride03]

And she's gone.

The cam wasn't down very long. Miraflores will likely be down for longer when the sub gets there

 

[Octoberbride03]

YOu can see her on the next cam. It beat the sub out of the Pedro locks. No more camera shutdowns

 

[kritter]

I can not get it to work?????????

 

[Octoberbride03]

Did you get it yet Kristen? The Magic is huge in the pic

That's here in the locks now right?

 

[Octoberbride03]

Yes, she's lining up in the gate. Kind of slow going, but cook nonetheless

 

[kritter]

I got it. I love looking at her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[RanCan]

I'm watching her too!!!!
