YouTube Video Description

The Captain's Log: Day 57, The Panama Canal! This is my 2nd tranist of the Canal, while in Command. This time with more challenging weather (thanks, wind! 🌬) during the transit, as we were tendering at anchor and for arrival and departure to/from Colon. I'm not sure if cargo ships use the tugs to maneuver their way through the Agua Clara locks, but since we have azipods & thrusters, we get to maneuver the entire way. It's a long day & an intense experience with a mixture of great team work, patience, focus, fine tuning of power fore & aft, comfortable shoes (love you, @hoka 👟), a LOT of coffee ☕️) & if you're lucky... sushi 🍣 & a trip to the spa💆‍♀️! #goBeyond #thecaptainslog #celebritybeyond #cruise #ship #panamacanal
