Hi Paul and Sheryl. I enjoyed watching your transit of the Panama Canal and the history. (we have seen programs before on the building of the canal and the toll on human lives malaria took + how they solved the malaria issue). It reminds me of our transit of the Welland canal with our sailboat, which we enjoyed very much. Holly and I transited the Panama canal on our 25th wedding anniversary aboard a cruise ship in 1998, which required no work on our part, but was quite enjoyable. All the best and thank you for making these great videos.
So appreciate both the info and the experience. I had no idea because most footage through the canal are just time-lapse of big ships without a sense of scale and human impact.
Thank you so much Paul and Sheryl, for having us on board of your boat. As a former seaman in the German merchant navy I came through the canal in 1973. We went to Punta Arenas in Costa Rica to load brown sugar. As it was the first time for me I was just as excited as you were. Thank you for your wonderful videos and your way of storytelling
Sheryl and Paul how lucky to see their videos again, they are exiled at sea despite the pandemic, I follow them, I see their other videos and I like them very much .... thank you for sharing them
Thoroughly enjoyed all 3 parts of your going through the PC. Very informative, the best on YT. We were surprised with all your sailing that this was the first time you went through the canal. My husband has been through 7 times and I have been once from the Pacific to the Atlantic side. We look forward to enjoying more of your videos. Hope you are safe and well
The canal is just an amazing engineering marvel. IMO! Just blows my mind. Loved the series of the lock. Thanks for sharing your videos with us, Chris from Missouri P.S. I'll just stay in freshwater on our lakes in Missouri... lol...
Yes, as one of the greatest engineering feats of the world, the history is fascinating. I hope you guys got to visit the Maritime Museum in Casco Viejo. Also, there’s a very great museum of the Panama Canal at the Miraflores Locks, along with a restaurant and its observation deck. The fish market near Casco Viejo is cool and inexpensive. Be well! Cheers 🍻
I'm confused. I thought you were going to the Pacific, but all your maps show you going south east, as if you are heading for the Caribbean. ? ? ? I thought the maps were simply oriented with east toward the top. But I checked, and there really seems to be a mistake here. Scott W
@@johnharrison2741 I just checked again on Google Earth and I was mistaken! I must not have zoomed out. : - ( If you're going from the Pacific to the Atlantic you actually head NNW! Which clearly means that going the opposite way you'd be heading SSE. I'm soooooo embarrassed! Thanks for pointing out my mistake.
It just a money making excersize for the government. Always wondered if it would be cheaper to hire a truck to transport it across the country instead?
25 million?for large ships to pass Panama Canal...USA MAKES FORTUNE...WHAT DO WE DO WITH ALL THAT $...DO THEY PAY EACH WAY-LEAV IUI NG and returning? Love, videos. THENCPHOENIX...😁

Always a pleasure to see your documented videos. Continue! Bert, Portugal
Obrigada! Lots more adventure to come, Bert!
I like the badass music selection at 12:25. Appropriate for the Pacific side of the locks, sounds very west coast.
Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for sharing this fascinating journey through the locks, hope you get to sail soon!
Good day love from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦.

Good job! We went through on Princess the year before. The heat and humidity were devastating.
💖🌺⛵️ Good Morning from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺⛵️🌈 we love your wonderful episodes 🇨🇦🇦🇺.
Thanks, Paul! So lovely to hear from Australia. Have a great day!
Congrats you made it!! This crossing is on my bucket list (as well as Cape Horn)
Another very good video and a perfect series for the transit which will help me to do the passage myself. Thank you !!
This was fascinating... thanks!!!
Like you said, the history is so cool. I’m so looking forward to do this one day. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏼
Love your adventures!
Great video as always. Looking forward to the next. Probably a dumb question, but any guess when you may be able to get underway again.
Hi Paul, icymi David McCullough's The Path Between the Seas is outstanding
This is awesome ❤️
So glad you enjoyed the video, Trini!
Hello from Toulouse. You know the canal du Midi hasn't brought toulouse to the sea level... 🤔
How much you have to pay for Panama Canal
boat for sale?

Check on a map and you will see that the crossing is SE due to the shape of Panama.

Love you. Why lock boats? Probably 1 at time, too slow.
