Bill (lock master at E20) was gracious enough to go looking for my expensive prescription sunglasses in the picnic area after we had stayed overnight on the western wall ( north side). We were already at lock E19 after tearing our boat apart looking for them! Bill found them and arranged for them to be driven to E18. This definitely goes into the category of "above and beyond" service to boaters. Thanks a ton Bill!

We tied our DeFever 44 to the starboard wall. About 2/3rd rise, 2 strong men could not keep the boat parallel to the wall, got to the end of their rope and could no longer hang on. We got blown parallel to the port wall. Lockmaster said new valves had been added and they couldn’t control them. He watched the whole scenario unfold and it seems he should have done something to let us regain control.
