How cool is that! Thanks for the link.

For those of you who don't know:
When you think of going through the Panama Canal from the Caribbean to
the Pacific you would think you would be traveling from east to west.
Well, think again. In order to go from the Carib to the Pacific you have
to travel WEST to EAST through the canal. True story.

That's why I didn't say "westbound"! Another curious point - most would
say that the canal is west of the Longitude of Florida, but in fact all of
Florida is west of the canal.
