Coral Princess at Gatun Locks

[BillB48]

Passengers on the Coral had a little something else to attract their attention as they were enjoying their partial transit of the Canal on Tuesday Nov. 4. While they were in the West side of Gatun, one of the new gates for the Canal expansion was locking up the East side on its way to the Pacific Locks.

 

More than likely the new gate was adorned with the extra bunting in celebration of Panama's flag day, Nov. 4th.

Neat! We're heading that way on the Island for Christmas and that photo just makes me even more excited[emoji2]

Amazing! I was watching the Panama webcam and saw the Coral Princess come in to the picture and watched it go into the first lock but apparently I left the site too soon!

Here is a picture of the new locks under construction. I took this photo last February with a telephoto lens.
