Opened the gate ready for Huami to enter and once again you will need a Handspike

Some Handspike paddles have been replaced but there are still some locks that cannot be operated without a hand-spike. You can buy a Hand-spike at boatyards in the area or you can make your own from a piece of 4" x 2" or 3" x 2" hardwood about 3' long.

Huami is only 44' long but all the locks seem to only allow 57'6". One guy managed to get a 59' boat in diagonally but you have to be very careful of the sill.
