We caught up with Catalyst who had gone alongside. With us to tie up to they came back to centre chamber. This is the Pedro Miguel lock, the first set of locks on the Pacific side with just a single chamber. Next are the Miraflores Locks, just under a nautical mile further along the canal, with two chambers.

The Ocean Dream entering the lock.

Looking down the canal toward the Miraflores locks.

The Catalyst rafted up alongside, the crew looking a bit thin on it.  If they knew where their groceries were we would be fighting off a boarding party.
