On Thursday, March 4, 2004 SAGA began her transit of the Canal. On board were the crew of Fernweh, Korbin and his father Ed along with their friend, a Panamanian named Jose Luis. Together we took SAGA safely through all the locks, spending the night in Lake Gatun. Now we are members of a very small and exclusive club made up mostly of small boats who took two days to transit the canal and were fortunate to have slept (and swum) in Gatun Lake!
