Panama City, Panama, my anchorage

After being here way too long I thought I'd snap a few pictures of what I see from my boat while I wait to leave.
 My view east towards the unfinished Frank Gerhy designed biodiversity museum which I would have loved to see if it were finished. It's an amazing design on many levels and surely will be a wonderful addition to the sights of Panama City.
 This my view to the south east. The approach to the Panama Canal which operates 24/7/365 and always has a fleet of ships anchored at each end waiting for their appointed time to transit.
 Some of my neighbors with the skyline of PC in the background.
 Another neighbor of the 60 or so boats in the anchorage. The closer to the dinghy dock you get the higher the density of yachts gets. I chose to be out a bit so when the wind shifts and the dragging starts due to the mud bottom and poor holding I have less chance to be hit which happens too frequently due to new people arriving constantly and do not let out enough anchor chain or rope to hook well to the bottom.
 The beginning of another new day.                       Below is another shot of the skyline.
