The Panama Canal grabs are a 'filler' until we get back to Galaxy's beautiful pictures of the fjords again in a few months!

Another one passing on thanks for your wonderful contributions.
We had friends on the Coral Feb 25, and I have forwarded the link to them, and they can see themselves on the forward deck in the Miraflores lock.
Great work.

I have tried not to get the same ship, heading in the same direction, more than once. I am really glad your friends got to see themselves! I have a friend going on the CP in October and was showing them what a WB transit looked like so the CP has had some extra coverage as of late. I really enjoy doing this becuase this is as close to a cruise as I am going to get for a while. Unfortunatley extensive car repairs in excess of $1G have forced me to cancel my December cruise. I am very disappointed and quite sad about that but I can still live (like Malcolm said once) in my virtual cruise world.
