DAY AT SEA (8th day of Journey)
I forgot to tell you that yesterday as the ship transited the Pedro Miguel Lock in the canal we watched a huge container ship that is set up to have a 2 ft. clearance on each side of the lock actually hit the wall on the port side causing a horrible noise and a great deal of smoke. Interestingly, once it passed thats all it left that was visible was a minor scrape.
We crossed the Equator around 3:30 this afternoon and King Neptune welcomed us to the Southern Hemisphere.
Oh, also I made a mistake yesterday. We are going to be in Manta Equador tomorrow. Peru is not until next week...
Not even a week and you have already had some interesting adventures. Edythe Gnatt was the only resident who remembered going through eh canal. We are living as much as we can with you. Thanks Marilyn so much!!! Joan
