| The commercial anchorage is crowded with big ships outside the Colón Harbor breakwater |
| Returning from San Blas to Colón, we sailed in through the commercial ship anchorage |
| And came back to the safety of Shelter Bay Marina to prepare for our Canal transit |
| Bob prepares to ascend the mast to install a new masthead light |
| Bob inches his way up the line to the masthead 65 ft high |
| The daring old man on the flying trapeze! |
| Don't look down!! |
| He inspects the rigging on the way down |
| We entered the first set of locks at night |
| The gates close astern and the water rushes in, forced up from pipes below |
| What's my line? |
| Bob Lee handles his line, helping us transit the Canal |
| The water in the locks is calm until the gates are completely closed |
| We transited the 3 Gatun Locks behind Ivory Ace |
| Red and green arrows point the way to our lock |
| Getting locked in |
