Suez Canal

Well the Suez is definitely a lot different from the Panama Canal. First of all no locks, and a lot of desert. We entered the canal at around 6 am and then made it about half way when we had to stop to let the northbound traffic pass. So all the southbound ships were tied off to the shore. It was kind of wired being moored to the the sand dunes. we sat all day. Finally around 8 pm we continues on. We finally left the canal around 2am. Very long and boring day. The Panama canal is much better.
