'The Big Ditch' as the Panama Canal is called, is such an important
gateway between oceans that it merits a page of its own. You may
have read about Chris Baily's transit and that of Fran Slingerland in The
Big Ditch pages of our first issue.
In this issue we have two articles for you:
Panama:
A brief history of the canal itself.
Collision
Report: A translation from German of a letter from Ulrich and
Barbara Sandmeier about a most unfortunate event in early March 2001,
involving their yacht 'Antares'.
If you
have transited 'The Big Ditch' you may like to write and tell us
of your experiences.
