These are a couple good recent articles on transiting the panama canal, and the various options for handling the paper work and costs:
http://www.latitude38.com/LectronicLat/2005/0505/May04/May04.html
see "Panama Canal's Charges And Delays Way Up For Small Boats"
http://www.latitude38.com/changes/Changes03-05.html
"Chewbacca"
and frankly... many many more reports of transits if you care to search Lat 38's site.
