Please bring back a snap of a “Ten cuidado con los tiburones” or the equivalent sign from the Atlantic side. I have memories of these on the beach and in the water at Fort Sherman while attending a 1966 course at the School of the Americas. Fort Sherman is at Toro Point at the Atlantic (northern) end of the Panama Canal, on the western bank of the Canal directly opposite Colón (which is on the eastern bank). Thanks

There IS one on the KV; it’s called “Blue”.
