Shot from the open door of a Robertson R44 helicopter flying over the Power Boating Canada Bay of Quinte Poker Run, I was fascinated by the wake behind this offshore performance boat - look closely, and you can see the turbulence from each rotation of the twin props...

Pure luck brought me to this shot. We were partly lucky, atleast for the visuals, that the seas were so choppy.
Nothing you have experienced will have you prepared for the thrill and excitement of a Shotover Jet ride; it's an adrenaline rush you'll never forget!
From the moment the accelerator hits the floor your adrenaline hits the roof as you speed in mere centimetres of water along the famous Shotover River and deep into the spectacular Shotover River Canyons. It's an amazing ride, as the Shotover Canyon walls tower over you, your expert driver puts your ‘Big Red’ through its paces and skilfully whips the Jet Boat past rocky outcrops, skims around crags and boulders, and speeds through the narrow canyons.
Rock faces blur in your peripheral vision, the opaque water sprays into myriads of white crystals with every turn, and you grip the hand rail for comfort and reassurance and then let out a whoop of excitement as your driver spins the boat around in its own boat length — wow, you've just experienced the World famous Shotover Jet full 360 degree spin. Hold on tight and enjoy the thrill as you spin and without losing momentum keep speeding along the river.

While the Rotterdam & Zaandam waited in the Bay of Panama, Panama's AERONAVAL personnel were keeping an eye on the two ships - maybe they were worried we would flood the air with COVID-19 germs.
From their web site:
According to the Political Constitution of the Republic and national laws, the National Aeronaval Service will act as a public security entity in the maritime, air, port and airport areas throughout the national territory.
The quote on the boat:
FILIPENSES 4:13
A quote found in the book of Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." - COVID-19 exempt.

*[left-double-click for a closer-look - returning from border patrol]
The U.S. Coast Guard is recognized as a leader in the field of search
and rescue. To meet this responsibility, the Coast Guard maintains search and rescue facilities on the East, West and Gulf coasts,
as well as in Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and Puerto Rico.
U.S. Coast Guard patrols our southern border
throughout the 90 miles to Cuba and beyond.
*[On a personal note: my younger first-cousin Marty ALWAYS said when we were kids that when he grew up he wanted to work on
the water with the US Coast Guard. Well, he really lived that dream!
He worked for the US Coast Guard for the last 30+ years, enduring moves from Tampa Florida, to Alaska, to Hawaii and back to North Carolina. He will be retiring with many honors within the next year.
Great job, Marty! We're all very proud of you! - Ooh Rah! *salute*]

Before the ms Westerdam entered Limon Bay on the east side of the Panama Canal the Panama Canal Authority dispatched a Marine Pilot to guide the ship into and throughout the canal passage.
Wikipedia:
A pilot is a mariner who guides ships through dangerous or congested waters, such as harbors or river mouths. Pilots are expert shiphandlers who possess detailed knowledge of local waterways.
The ms Westerdam Captain has full responsibility for safe navigation of his vessel, even if a pilot is on board. If he has clear grounds that the pilot may jeopardise the safety of navigation, he can relieve him from his duties and ask for another pilot or, if not compulsory to have a pilot on board, navigate the vessel without one. Only in transit of the Panama Canal does the pilot have the full responsibility for the navigation of the vessel.
