The book appears in two editions - "Your Day In The Panama Canal - Northbound: The Panama Canal Pacific to Atlantic" or "Your Day In The Panama Canal - Southbound: Everything you need to get the most out of your Panama Canal experience" - so how do you know which one to buy???? Although Panama connects North and South America, this little squiggle of a country runs east to west. On the east is Columbia, on the west is Costa Rica. The Atlantic is on the north and the Pacific is on the south. The Canal itself actually runs north south! So, if you are cruising from the Atlantic to the Pacific, although you are going from an eastern ocean to a western ocean you are going south when you are in the Canal, so ATLANTIC TO PACIFIC IS SOUTHBOUND. By the same token PACIFIC TO ATLANTIC IS NORTHBOUND.
