Ron: the locks you'll encounter in FL are contained in these mini-movies (in the order in which you'll pass them: http://youtu.be/YwAZkkEOTGY http://youtu.be/27d0lV95XkQ http://youtu.be/Dfb8kbIhhBU http://youtu.be/o-q_402dO2M And from the last trip: eastbound through the still open lake lock: http://youtu.be/en2yTYLdqQo The one on the East side of Okeechobee is usually open. The one to watch is at Moore Haven if you're single screw and there's a big blow from the lake going on. The wind swirls in the lock like a mini tornado. Other than that rare event, not many surprises. Matt Mattson 13' BW 1996 Dauntless 30 hp.
