We met Jean CLaude and his friendly family in Shelter Bay Marina, in Colon. Jean Claude lives in the pays de Gex, very close to where I have been brought up. We discovered after a few chats that he used to work at the same organisation than my dad and that his daughter who is about my age went to the same highschool than me! We were glad to have him with us for the canal transit and hope to see him and his family again when we will go back to France.
