Switching Oceans

The last weeks have been extremely busy and when time flies like that and you just keep moving and doing stuff, all of a sudden it is there: the first step of our new adventure; transiting the Panama Canal!

Irie will start her lock, lake and canal adventure towards the Pacific Ocean on Friday, January 18th, in the afternoon. We plan to go through the Gatun locks between 15:00 and 17:00 local time (= East Coast US time). If you want, you can see us pass via the webcam, if you surf to

On Saturday, January 19th, the Miraflores locks will spit us out on the other side, where the big Pacific Ocean and new adventures await. There is also a webcam in this last set of locks, where we expect to be in view between 14:00 and 16:00. Check out:

Wish us luck and say goodbye to the Caribbean Sea!
