Yes it was good wasn’t it! But I can’t claim any credit for it. Her webcam refreshes every minute and we just got lucky with that one.

I was also monitoring her progress on the canal’s webcam and was going to capture from there when she came alongside - but it changed direction at the last minute. I could have emailed them and requested a change back but it was late and I needed to get to bed for an early start this morning.

Also, did you notice the number of canal workers on board? There were probably a similar number at the stern, which would be about right for a large container ship, but a bit over the top for a 30 metre yacht! I wonder if it’s about ‘Union Regulations’, or just a bunch of guys wanting to get up close and personal with a classic luxury yacht?

Yes, you get the same number of workers whether you are 30m or 300m. Its the same going through the Suez canal too.

The bit I like is when they try to drag crusty old steel lines through your nice new shiney stainless fairleads and dump it on the teak decks.

Hi,

I would hazard a guess that she is anchored in the Tobago Cays general area.

Looks like Taramber, the nice Pendennis from 1991.

I can not recall the other, but this was the first boat that Pendennis built. Peter de Savary had Ed Dubois and Terry Disdale designing it and I think she still have the same exotic interior. I have been onboard showing her for potential charterers.

UPDATE, she is today called La Cattiva I found out...

Interesting Canal passage, when I did it we had our own 4 crew, myself, the pilot and the guys on shore tossed the line with monkey fist to us, if we did not pass up cold pop, you just might get a monkey fist on your head !!!

Ron, is this Bridgetown?

And again...

She is now alongside and has what appears to be the bow of a cruise ship towering over her. That must feel very uncomfortable!

Thanks Ron. I think she may also have been off loading her charter party.
