This is the approach to the Gutan Locks on the Atlantic side of the canal. It is actually west (by just a mile or two) of the Pacific side. The canal runs almost north to south, but there is enough angle to put the Pacific side east of the Atlantic side. We are approaching the entrances to the first of three locks here.
