A closer up view of the Panama City skyline.
There is an Old Town Panama section which we toured by cab. The city appears to be doing a lot to rebuild this section.
Downtown Panama City skyline from the marina. We're on hold for our pass through the canal - most likely Tuesday so we have time to tour the city. The locals tell us there is an incredible amount of high rise condominium construction and very few tennants. They believe the funding is from "grey money" sources from Columbia.
The same post is now 16 feet above the dock, with more tide shift to go. This harbor (Flamenco Marina) states a tide shift of 18-22 feet! That's a big shift this close to the equator (7.5 degrees north). We are at the end of a long bay to the mouth of the Panama Canal which accounts for most of the shift.
Here's an illustration of the tide shift in Panama. Look at the post to the right (starboard) of Jungle - the yellow stripe is about 2.5 feet above the floating dock.
