A Cruise through Panama Canal, by way of Aruba .
As I sit in my cabin, outside Kyle, South Dakota, on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, this winter day, it is 19 degrees outside. Wind is 55-70 mph from the north with snow and ice making a wind chill of -7 degrees. I have a fire going in my wood burning stove and my dog, Mackenzie husky in asleep in the kitchen area, one of the few times he comes inside now. This is the perfect time for me to reflect on my educational excursion through the Panama Canal just one week ago.
Hope you enjoy the pictorial journal of the cruise.
I embarked on an educational excursion from the post hurricane area of Florida. The damage was sad, but the people were in good spirits and already repairing damage from the hurricane. Our ship launched from Ft Lauderdale and set course for Aruba.
