We put tires and bummers on both side of Dragonsbane to protect her from the lock walls, Tug boats, and Pilot boats.

We had to raft with 2 other boats before we went through the locks.

The Panama Canal Line handlers tossing there lines to us so we could tie our heavy rope lines to them. They would drag in our rope lines and tie us off to the canal walls.

The target is for the line handlers that walk the walls of the Canal. They practice throwing there monkey balls at the target and over the top pole.

The water rushing into the locks to raise us up to the next lock of 3

The lock has finished filling and I am now 50 feet higher looking out over the Caribbean Sea

After we went through the first 3 locks we spent the night on the fresh water lake and tired to a mooring ball for a freighter, enough room for two sailboats. We awoke at 6:30am and motored 5 hours to the Pacific locks on the lake. We then went through 3 more locks and dropped 150 feet to Pacific sea level.

Jacques and Adam talking about something important as we motored through the lake !

After we finished our Transit a dingy tender came along side Dragonsbane and took all our tires and ropes for $10.
