Entering Lock E-15 with the YFN
Entering the locks on the high side is a bit different than coming in on the low side. The rakes of the barges will ride up over the walls if your approach is off and can take out rails, bits, etc. It just takes a little longer entering and can be a little tricky with the current pushing you in or even away from the lock and towards the dam.
