  • casspa, on 06/02/2008, -0/+7http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqUqrWxRxJ4 this is the real way to travel from the caribbean to the pacific
  • realillusions, on 06/03/2008, -0/+6Interesting to see the locks in high speed. And I had no idea it was as curvy of a route as it is. Go figure.
  • aaaleman, on 06/02/2008, -0/+4Are you involved in the Cayuco race?
    My girlfriend is obsessed with it!
  • radiofreebc, on 06/03/2008, -0/+3Oh my God...I love Digg, check it all the time...and I'm completely floored today because I made this video!!! I can't believe it made it onto the top 10 pages of Digg!!!

    The YouTube version isn't great, there is a better (quicktime) version of the video on my website, www.cruisejournals.com.
    You do have to register to see the video...but it's free, and not to complicated.

    If you don't want to register, that's cool...you can also see a higher resolution version on Revver.com.

    Thanks for digging it...please help spread the word, and come visit my site for lots of other videos. I have a cool one of us sailing into Hong Kong that is like this.

  • charm803, on 06/03/2008, -1/+3Thanks for posting this.
    With gas prices going up, I couldn't afford a summer vacation-but now, my my life is complete.

    Anywho-this video is pretty cool.
  • Thrilltone, on 06/03/2008, -0/+2I lived next to the Miraflores locks and one night Nedia and I slept on the beach beneath the Bridge of the Americas.
    Great variety of women in Panama.
  • NSMike, on 06/03/2008, -0/+2Actually, it made a lot of sense to do something like that, but was a very, very big mess during construction. Many accidents, and plenty of rampant disease due to the jungle. That's partly why it was controversial when the US handed the canal to Panama a few years back. A lot of US workers died making the canal.
  • almj, on 06/03/2008, -0/+2Mankind is genius for that creating that canal.
  • Eliot99, on 06/03/2008, -0/+1I had the opportunity to transit the canal while in the Navy. It is truly remarkable and an experience I will never forget. It's an amazing piece of engineering. Very cool.
  • iJessicaRabbit, on 06/03/2008, -0/+1I found myself wanting to beat the other boats...
  • apr35, on 06/03/2008, -0/+1wow, they should really slow down through there...
  • vegeto626, on 06/03/2008, -1/+2I felt like I just played through a session of Amazon trail really fast x_x.
  • cslawren, on 06/03/2008, -0/+1I just noticed this and thought it was really cool, if you go off shore a little where they have the barriers at the harbor, the water forms this cool series of arcs...maybe if i had listened in physics or some other class i would know why it does that.
  • Oppslagsverk, on 06/03/2008, -0/+1That was cool. Actually a lot longer travel than i thought. I thought there were only 1 set of locks for example.
  • zosoIV, on 06/03/2008, -0/+1Oh god, we're gonna crash!
  • mark076h, on 06/03/2008, -0/+1thanks for posting that very cool
  • diggid3, on 06/03/2008, -0/+1b^Hseen there, done that!
  • FKnight, on 06/04/2008, -0/+1Cool Video. As was said by others, I didn't realize the trip was that long either. Pretty cool though. Thanks. Dugg, etc.
  • westbay1, on 06/19/2008, -0/+1Now that is a pretty cool video.
  • radiofreebc, on 06/03/2008, -0/+1I'm so thrilled...this is so cool! Help get this up on the front page!
  • casspa, on 06/03/2008, -0/+1I've paddled around in them, haven't had the chance to do the race yet, but a group of my friends were champs 3 years running
  • osarhan, on 06/03/2008, -1/+1Cool!
  • buywowgoldz, on 08/13/2008, -0/+0It is truly remarkable and an experience

  • skydharma, on 06/03/2008, -1/+1anyone else feel like this was like some super nintendo RPG?
  • FrontLine41, on 06/03/2008, -5/+0Damn, i thought this said Pamela Anderson Topless Video at first glance. :P
