Cant be 100% sure of the schedule until just before the transit but normally we pass the Gatun locks to enter the canal around 8 or 9PM and are in those locks for over and hour. Then the best view should be from the Mira Flores locks around 2PM on Saturday. I can give spot checks along the way so you know about where I am, or I can try to call from the cell phone at least just before the aproach to the mira flores locks. If you can try to use the high resolution and I will try to get the camera operator to zoom onto Salsa, we have been able to get them to do that before on other transits. You can try the link out now to see how it works.

Oh well, might as well make this a short website update too, The panama Canal transit is this Friday February 13th, the plan is to spend a week or two in Panama City or the surounding islands and then depending on the weather set sail towards Galapagos around March 1. Updates from Cartagena and the last trip to San Blas coming soon, photos are allready on the website! -kirk
