I agree, lovely spot here in Charleston.

Lots to see and do here, plus the locals are very friendly.

Parked right downtown is a bonus.

This will be a popular stop.

Key West on Tuesday.

[Tranquility Base]

Missing you guys plus Jo & Gazza on 11 aft.

Enjoy Norway.

Enjoy the friendly people of Charleston.

 

Key West should be downtown also. Quite a contrast between Charleston and Key West. Enjoy the scenic route, via Florida Keys, with islands linked by long bridges.

Have a great day everyone. Thanks for the pic David, looks like they dredged a bit of the bottom up.

In Key West , Florida today. Looks a bit overcast.Here is the bridge cam and the port cam , The Carnival ship, Carnival Breeze , is blocking the cams view of Sea Princess , which is docked behind it.

Thanks David, a lovely part of the world.

Thanks, David. Hope passengers try the delicious tiny crab claws.

[Kiwi Kruzer]

Heres a few grabs I caught as they were leaving..

 

 

 

[MicCanberra]

Cheers, it was a case of going, going, gone. :)

[Kiwi Kruzer]

They are just about to leave Cartagena to head for the Panama Canal, Their transit will be tonight our time.

 

 

[MicCanberra]

Hope they have good weather for the canal.

[Kiwi Kruzer]

They have reached the Pacific side of the canal, Approaching the Pedro Miguel locks. Looks like the approach canal to the new mega locks on the right hand side of the pic,,,

Thanks David,

I would like to go through the new locks in the future but finding a cruise ship doing that is hard to pin down as most still use the old ones. Do we know if any cruise ships use the new locks?

Looks like the locks on the LHS are having maintenance done on them...

Local time 6.30 in the evening. They are usually well through by that time. Wonder if just having the one lock working held them up a bit. Looks nice with the lights on..

Cheers, remarkably that Disney ship would have fit in the old locks.

[MicCanberra]

Some great pics there, does look if only the on lock was being used. The shot with the lights on looks great.
