I went back today and attached the drain pipe   I think I’ll have to end up shortening it so it forms a slope down to the drain, but that will do for now.

Panama Canal Part 2 Panama Canal Part 2
A couple of weeks ago I made it through the Panama A couple of weeks ago I made it through the Panama Canal, which was a pretty crazy 17 hour day. There are 6 locks in total, divided into 3 groups - 3 locks are at the start, then you end up driving through a manmade channel for miles, before emerging into a manmade lake.

The whole day was so full of huge ships and challenging situations but the feeling of emerging into a NEW OCEAN on the other side is pretty unbelievable

Last 100 miles were upwind against heavy current but it was ok, even the fearsome Punta Mala was tame.

Next, the canal!
