After a lazy morning we headed to the Gatun Locks of the Panama Canal and got to see the operations up close and personal.  We watched four huge tankers transit right before our eyes from the visitors centre and when we returned to the marina the first half of the WARC yachts had left for their transit. All in all, it certainly brought home the adventure we're about to embark upon and William will be the youngest member of the fleet to do so!
