This flood gate for a power generating plant can cause crazy currents towards it when open.
The lock is just around the rocks to the port.

Lock E-17
Going in to the lock
Closing the upper gates behind us.
Dropping us down
.
The gate is raised and we head out
On our way east.
Dam above Lock E-16. The river goes over the dam, we go throug a cut to the lock. This stretch of water is shallow as water doesn't move in it and the river deposits silt in the cut.
Right where we left it!
