Today Sophie and her boat Mission Performance are going to transit the Panama canal (Panama is 6 hours behind UK time). Going from the Pacific to the Atlantic, It will take about 8-10 hours and they will go through several locks, you can watch their progress on a live webcam: ( http://www.pancanal.com/eng/photo/camera-java.html ) which updates ever 30 seconds (a bit like watching paint dry). They will be at the 1st lock (Miraflores) at about 4pm our time with 2 other Clipper yachts. You can also track their progress on a satellite map: ( http://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ ) their boat is a purple mark (CV 23).
