It’s hard to remember when it was last so hot. The temperature on the sun deck must be above 40 degrees and we cool down with still ice water and wine. The enormous Gatun Lake is totally flat, sometimes green but most of the time brown due to the turning mud from vessels passing by. Don’t under estimate the traffic on this lake, big size cargo ships are crossing us frequently.
Again we see many pelicans in the sky but also doing fly-by’s just above the water line. The trees and mountains make it so beautiful and some of the high tree top blossom. You can hear the wildlife: birds, monkeys and insects. At the end of the lake ships are waiting to cross the Gatun Locks.
Het is moeilijk te herinneren wanneer het voor het laatst zo heet was. De thermometer geeft meer als 40 graden aan en wij zoeken verkoeling met ijswater en een glaasje wijn. Het enorme Gatun Meer is volledig vlak, soms is het water groen maar meestal bruin door de voorbij varende schepen. Onderschat het zee verkeer niet op dit meer, grote schepen varen ons regelmatig voorbij.
Terug zien we veel pelikanen in de lucht maar ook juist boven de waterlijn. De bomen en de bergen maken het allemaal mooi, sommige boomtoppen staan in bloei. Je kan de natuur horen: de vogels, apen en insecten. Aan het einde van het meer wachten vele schepen om de Gatun Sluizen in te varen.
