Scenes from the ship and canal...
It was amazing to pass a huge cargo ship in the canal.

 |
| Approaching Lock 7 - The Heloise (ship) is downbound ahead of us lowering in the lock. |
 |
| We had to tie up and wait for the Heloise to leave Lock 7. Then the Tim S. Dool entered Lock 7 upbound and we waited for it to clear the lock. This is the Tim S. Dool leaving the lock. |

| Waiting to be lowered in Lock 7. Ahead of us is Lock 6, part of the Twin Flight Locks (4, 5 & 6) Each of these locks can handle upbound and downbound ships at the same time. |

| Lock 7 gate closed in front of us as the Empire Sandy is lowered. |
