Hey everyone, Nate here. So we have only 4 days left in our voyage. Crazy huh? Things are very hectic right now, especially with Sarah's duties, including, but not limited to: Ambassador's Ball (a huge event tomorrow night including dinner, dancing, and fun) and the Ship-Board Drive (a fund-raising program). It's stressful, but she's taking care of business, as only Sarah can. And I'm helping as her right-hand man.
As I said, things are hectic, so updates for Yokohama, Hawaii, and Guatemala are delaayed, but will arrive. It may not be until after we are home on land, but I promise you this blog will be finished soon. We'll see what kind of time we have after packing and such.
Now, onto the reason for this particular entry: Tomorrow we cross the Panama Canal! I am so excited to be able to witness one of the world's greatest engineering feats in person. And guess what, the Panama Canal has a web-cam. Just click on this link:
That brings you to the main camera web page, and the tabs above the camera window navigates you to the different cameras located at different parts of the canal. This is so cool, because you will be able to see our ship, the MV Explorer, crossing the Panama Canal tomorrow...at some point.
The thing is, it takes 9 hours to cross the canal. We will be crossing from around 9:00 to 9:30 am and exiting around 5:30 to 6:00 pm. Unfortuneatly, I do not have a schedule detailing which lock we will be at during the day, so seeing us on the camera may be hit or miss. But the oppurtunity is there, and may be a fun activity to check in on now and then throughout the day.
Thank you again for reading, and hopefully you'll see our ship. We'll be waving, so look close!
Peace.
