Our private SpeakFree tour of Panama Canal continued as the rain came down. I thought we were just killing time until it stopped so we didn't get soaking wet. Turns out we were just waiting for the next vessel to come through. The ship schedule saw a biggie coming during our visit. And don't worry about visiting Miraflores locks in the rain because there's an overhang so you don't get wet at all while watching the big boats come through.

We saw the vessel approaching in the distance and continued hearing interesting stories from the tour guide and he showed us how we can even track the cargo coming through. In this instance it was from the United Kingdom and still had about two weeks of cruising to its ultimate destination.
