Canal Transit Day 4
A pilot got onboard the Langseth to guide our passage through the canal and decided that the ship was too wide for a nighttime transit through the canal. So, we anchored offshore waiting in line for a daytime passage though the canal. We've been told that we will leave on Sunday, March 16th, up to Lake Gatun where we will probably wait some more. For those involved in meeting us in Caldera, we don't know exactly when we will arrive. We spent the day anchored offshore the Hotel Washington and in the afternoon a movie crew came out to film the new James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, not far from our ship. It was fun to watch James Bond doing his fight scenes as he sped through the water. We were hoping for a nice explosion, but it never happened. The whole town is excited to have James Bond around even though the movie will say the scenes take place in Bolivia. After floating in the water all day and watching James Bond, we got shore leave and a water taxi took us in to port Cristobal for a few hours.
