Morpheus was designed by Carl Schumacher, built by Davie Norris Boatbuilders in New Zealand and launched in 2002. She spent her first 18 months cruising the South Pacific before reaching her home port of San Francisco. Since that time, Morpheus has been raced and cruised extensively. This blog will document her ongoing adventures.

Morpheus Panama Canal (better late than never)
Morpheus - Panama Canal - Dec 2010 from Jim Gregory on Vimeo.
I've finally been able to pull all the photo's and video together from three or four cameras to put this video together.
Yes, it's a bit long, but if you have 9 minutes and watch it you will probably have a pretty good idea of what it's like to go through the canal. It was an amazing couple of days!!
If you are interested, there is no better book to read about the canal and its construction than "The Path Between the Seas: The Creation of the Panama Canal, 1870-1914" by David McCullough
