Lake Gatun - Las Brisas
The alarm rang at 6am. Expected time for advisor 07:15. So coffee and hearty breakfast were consumed and to everyones slight suprice the advisor came on board exactly when promised.
He didn’t want more breakfast, only coffee. At 7:30 we were already on the way. The drive through Gatun Lake was hot and long. Along the way we only once needed to lower our speed to avoid a narrow spot with a New Panamax class vessel. After that, it was back to 2300 rpm and 5.5 knots of speed. At 12 we arrived to the first locks. Before entering we rafted with Aero and Pango proceeded to drive us all in in the quattromaran formation. Then down the first locks, a small drive to the next set. 20 meters down and then. Pacific Ocean!
Kippis Henrik!
