Panama Canal Transit

When we were asked to assist as line handlers on Imagination, our friends beautiful, Leopard 42 catamaran, we jumped at the chance. All small boats transiting the Panama Canal must have on board, at least 3 crew, an adviser, plus a captain. We had met Lorela and John Hess in Santa Marta, when they first mentioned that they could use some help. We had sailed west together, but hadn’t seen them since when we arrived in the San Blas. They had carried on to Colon to do last minute preparations, and  provisioning to get the boat ready for their trip.
