Hiram Chittenden locks in Ballard (Seattle), built around 1917. Two locks, a smaller with floating bollard walls and the larger lock that required constant attention while being raised or lowered. Frequently, the travel in the lock would exceed 15 feet. Been through these multiple times, but not for many years.
Tomorrow we will need to negociate 5 separate locks on the Okeechobee waterway. It should be interesting. I hope I can figure out how to post a picture as we move along.
The boat is mostly loaded. A few last minute things to pack and load (including ice chests) and we hope to have an early departure.
Stay tuned.
