ON-BOARD REPORTER
Passing through the Panama Canal marks the begining of the expedition Tara Pacific and the first corals sampling in the Pacific Ocean.
As the onboard reporter, I was running from the top of the mast where the Gopro was settled to the deck with all my video and radio equipment in order to document this symbolic transit through the canal.

PASSING THROUGH THE PANAMA CANAL
Tara passed through the famous Panama Canal to reach the Pacific Ocean where scientists will begin collecting the expedition’s first coral samples. Captain Samuel Audrain followed the instructions of a pilot who came aboard the schooner to supervise the maneuvers. On deck the crew assisted in passing through a series of locks to reach the highest point of the Canal, about 20 meters above sea level. During the hours of our passage, we met huge cargo ships slowly moving through the locks, pulled by locomotives.
