Captain's Log on Lock 17

Capt's Log: Lock 17 is a guillotine lock so you have to drive under the
lock wall. It is wet so it rains down on you.

The prior lock master mentioned the currents when the lock is filling is
tough on sail boats with their keel. As I was leaning as a 45 degree angle
trying to hold off the boat, I realized that I have a keel and maybe that
accounted for my workout. For some reason, the Admiral had an easier time
of this lock with the way the currents were pushing the stern against the
lock wall and the bow away from the wall.

    Did you really post this at 5:13 AM Eastern? Think it might be PDT.
