@randystreat It is quite the experience it took us about 40 minutes to go down, and on the way back approximately an hour to go up. some of the locks were spewing water as some pictures show, and our widebeam boat just about fit in the lock so we kept the doors at the the doors at the front shut luckily as in one lock it was bouncing off the windows, I was at the back with Terry and saw that it was getting onto the roof when all of a sudden a huge gush of water headed out way over the roof, just managed to shut the door and hatch as it came off the back and poor Terry was standing in a puddle of water.
