Panama Canal- Day 1 (finished)




As the sun set and we exited the lock into Gatun Lake we felt very relieved. I had made a lasagne for the Advisor's dinner and during the chaos of the lock I was running downstairs and heating it up in the oven and boiling peas for him. It all seemed a bit surreal in amongst all the chaos. Anyway he cleaned up the plate just in time for the tug to pick him up from Faraway. We motored across the lake as the light faded and moored up to a huge mooring ball that are used for ships. I made dinner for everyone and we drank beer and red wine. Around 8pm Puffin and Scila arrived. We had some more beers with the crew off Puffin and did some boat swapping by hopping across the mooring ball until around 11pm.
