Panama Canal Crisis

Yesterday we left the marina at 2pm to pick up our canal advisor at the flats anchorage. We went through the first set of locks, the Gatun Locks, and dtopped the anchor at 6:30 in Gatun lake.

According to schedule we were supposed to continue across the lake at 6:00 in the morning with a new advisor. Now it's 8:30 and and nobody has showed up yet. Which gave us time for an extended breakfast, but now it would be nice if we could get going because we don't want to miss the cruiser's regulars table at la playita in the evening.

Speculations are running wild as to what is causing the delay. We tried to listen in on the canal channel 12, but it's busy with static. Very irregular. Is it the aftermath of Carnival?
