My brother just called - he's on a cruise ship that's just about to
enter the Panama Canal from the Caribbean side.

Here's a link to the bridge cam:

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.
