Targets

This is a screen shot from the iPad showing about 250 AIS targets in and around the Panama Canal on Wednesday, May 29. I was surprised that we received data from vessels on the Caribbean side as well. There are lots of tankers in the mix and a few sailboats going through. It was very helpful when we crossed the entrance to the canal to reach our current anchorage to be able to 'see' which way these big ships were going so we could avoid them.
