#Panama #Canal PrĂłximo da entrada do Canal do PanamĂĄ, lado do AtlĂąntico Por volta das 6 da manhĂŁ jĂĄ tĂ­nhamos passado o quebra-mar que antecede as Gatun locks. Depois da passagem de alguns navios foi a nossa vez de sermos elevados 26 metros em 3 etapas atĂ© ao Gatun Lake. Atravessamos o lago, o Culebra Cut (Canal aberto nas rochas e em forma de cobra com 12,6 Km de comprimento), a Centenial Bridge e chegamos a Pedro Miguel Locks, que tem apenas uma cĂąmera. Aqui descemos 9 metros para o Miraflores Lake. Lago pequeno e logo chegamos Ă s Miraflores Locks. SĂŁo compostas de 2 cĂąmeras que nos descem atĂ© ao nĂ­vel do PacĂ­fico. Estes locks tĂȘm as gates mais altas devido Ă s diferenças entre as marĂ©s do PacĂ­fico. Atravessados estes locks chegamos ao PacĂ­fico. Passamos ainda por baixo da ponte das AmĂ©ricas, que Ă© parte da rodovia Pan-americana, que liga o sul da AmĂ©rica do sul com o Alasca na AmĂ©rica do norte. A travessia toda durou em torno de 9 horas. Durante a travessia os navios sĂŁo auxiliados por pares de locomotivas. Dependendo do tamanho do navio, podem ser usadas atĂ© 8 locomotivas. A ĂĄgua que enche as cĂąmeras, vem do Gatun Lake e sĂŁo usados 197 milhĂ”es de litros de ĂĄgua para cada travessia. Por isso Ă© de suma importĂąncia a conservação da floresta tropical em torno do lago. As dimensĂ”es mĂĄximas permitidas para os navios Ă© 32,31 m de largura, 294,13 m de comprimento e 12,04 m de calado. Approaching Panama Canal - Atlantic side By 6am we had already passed the breakwater that precedes the Gatun locks. After the passage of some ships it was our turn to be lifted 26 meters in 3 steps to Gatun Lake. We cross the lake, the Culebra Cut (Channel open on the rocks and snake-shaped 12.6 km long), the Centenial Bridge and we arrive at Pedro Miguel Locks, which has only one camera. Here we descend 9 meters to the Miraflores Lake. Small lake and soon we arrived at Miraflores Locks. They are composed of 2 cameras that descend us to the level of the Pacific. These locks have the highest gates because of the differences between Pacific tides. Through these locks we reach the Pacific. We still cross under the bridge of the Americas, which is part of the Pan American Highway, which connects southern South America with Alaska in North America. The whole crossing lasted around 9 hours. During the crossing the ships are aided by pairs of locomotives. Depending on the size of the ship, up to 8 locomotives can be used. The water that fills the cameras comes from Gatun Lake and 197 million liters of water are used for each crossing. That is why conservation of the tropical forest around the lake is of paramount importance. The maximum allowable dimensions for ships is 32.31 m wide, 294.13 m long and 12.04 m draft.

Watching the locks operate as we sailed through the Panama Canal was fascinating. It's a slower process than I expected, but neat to see all the aspects that come together to make the system work so effectively.
