The most interesting chore on the Right loop is needing to have fendering at the water line to ride the wires up or down.

The locks are part of the park burocracy , so they are awash with helpful kollege kids that understand the drill.

We found it very easy as a 50 ft launch was larger than most locals and our preference for the Port side of the locks ,so usually we entered first .

3 or 4 little boats would raft on after the lock side walls were filled to capacity.

The locals seemed all prefer to tie overnight at the locks , and party hardy at the local resturiants till the AM.

Since we prefer the hook, there was no 3AM cross deck traffic .
