Our special order is escargot, french onion soup and tempura shrimp, scallops and veggies. Seems we have a tempura thing going, anything deep fried in batter is good in my book!

I love tempura too
Glad to see you are having a blast

oh yum....waiting for the story,,,,,need a good laugh

Our FUN3sters are in Cartagena, Columbia today. Unless the Navigator is one of those ships outside the port area in the far distance, I'm not able to locate her today. Here is the port area with a lovely breeze. I know you all are having a grand time!! :hello1:

When we were in Cartagena, we were docked at a different area altogether. It was not at the cruise ship dock, rather at the dock where the private yachts are, which is closer to town. It is much smaller than the place in your picture and I doubt they have a webcam.

Rachel, I was searching all over for a webcam that showed the Navigator, but came up with this shot. Since it looked festive and there was a big ol' ship here earlier, I thought those who hadn't been here before could get a feel for Cartagena.

Beth, you gave it agood try today! I just read passages and have the times for the canal tomorrow. The times are local and i think that they are the same as central time? Anyway we queue up at 5:45am, go through gatun lock between 7 and 8:30 am and through miraflores between 3:45 and 4:45pm.
Tommorrow iwill log onwitha ships computer so ican type faster with less typos to update what we have been up to the last few days. I still stink when it comes to typing on my tablet! I am sitting inthe hall outside my cabin right now, iget full signal strength out here and no disconnects!

Thanks for the times, Karen. Hope I will be able to catch you all on one of the cams. Don't forget to wave to us!!

I am up at the crack of dawn to watch our entry. The norwegian pearl is entering now and we are right behind her. The sun is starting to peak out!

I can see you all now. You're getting closer!

There are our FUN3sters second in line to enter the Gatun Lock!

If it stops raining, i will wave fromthe railing at Galileos that is facing the cam

We are at the gate now but the pearl is blocking us from the cam

The Pearl keeps inching up. We should be able to see you soon.

I cant figure out why i cant see the ship onthe cam, we are rihgt behind the pearl!

Are you in the lock right behind the Pearl, Karen? There is a container ship coming up behind you.

There's the Navigator peeking out behind the Pearl.

The lecturer is talking about the webcams right now, he said the miraflres cam is better for waving at friends and family :)

Here is one more pic of the Navigator in the Gatun Locks.

Marcie and i got bored so we decided to jam

One more shot of the Navigator leaving the Gatun Locks.

Wonderful stalk, Beth!! Thank you !!

Great stalking, Beth. Thanks!

The Navigator has just passed under the Centennial Bridge and still following the Pearl.

The Navigator continues her journey through the Panama Canal.

A tug boat guides the Navigator toward Miraflores Locks.

The Norwegian Pearl and the Regent Navigator.

A good look at both ships.

The Navigator caught up with the Pearl.

Looks like our FUN3sters are queuing up at the lock closest to the camera! Should be a great view of you guys!

Beth, you're doing such a great job !!

We sure look like the little shrimp next to Norwegian Pearl. This is our 3rd time going through the Panama Canal but it is so exciting going through the locks.

I just took these shots.

Not trying to steal your job Beth! But I had some time on my hands so I am watching the passage...

Cindy, Good shots! Marcie, love the drum pic, you could be Ringo Starr :app: or Gene Krupa. Canal cruising does get boring after the first hour.

You are all doing such a fantastic job, such great shots! I couldnt log in while we were next to the ncl ship as i was picking up their log in screen instead of ours

I managed to get a sequence of shots so should be able to put together a time lapse slide show. I'll work on it and post it later.

Cindy, thanks for taking over while I went to the Y. I did get one last shot before I left. You can see the water level dropping in this one. The FUN3sters must be in the Pacific by now?

Marcie, your stalking of the Pearl was great!

So Karen, are you waving at us in any of these pictures?

Love the pics! Beth, you are getting to be a stalker extraordinaire.

Hopefully here is the link to the time lapse slide show of the passage through the Miraflores Locks.

Think it plays a little smoother if you stop the playback for a couple of minutes and let it buffer, then hit the play buttin.
