Not easy for single handed boaters

Operating the guillotine lock is not easy for a single-handed boater. It is impossible to "Stay on your boat" and "Remain at the terminal" at all times! The waterways key can not be removed until the program completes so you need to wait until the guillotine is fully raised, then climb back on board exit the lock, moor up (about 50 meters further) then run back to the terminal, close the guillotine (takes forever!), then run back to your boat.
