I've got older pictures of the place when I went back in '96 to do research for my second novel. Sherman was the only active post on the Atlantic side as I remember. Both Davis and Gulick were closed and turned over to the Panamanians.
I have a forty-two foot sailboat that I keep in Florida and spend some time on the sailing forums ... one of which provided info that the area where the barracks used to be for JOTC (near the theater) is now a marina. It's the only place where cruisers feel safe while making arrangements for a canal crossing. I went into Colon in '96 and it was pretty ugly then, from the 'cruiser' traffic it's gotten a lot worse.
