dont forget to use the safety catch if present, watch out for overflow pushing the boat on entry/exit.... could have done with a bit more on it.

hey thanks for the video. What was that about a 'common problem with locks' the boats tipping sideways?

The locks are narrow, and some have protrusions that may hang on the bullwark of your boat. As your barge rises or lowers, these hang ups can roll a barge.
Happens more often when sailing solo and you dont notice.

I like the jesters hats, lock crew's should all be made to wear them :)
