The Big Chute
Boats come to a painted blue line on the dock. This tells the dock master that the boat wants to go into the lock. See the Big Chute in the background. Boaters are called on a loud speaker and told when and in what order to enter the chute.
We were called in next to the Chute with Wye Tug, ready to cross! The boat is lifted into the yellow slings. The dock masters are very adept at loading the proper size of boats in the chute.

Oh no! I rolled my hair in curlers (don't use electric usually on the boat) so I'd look good for the Big Chute photos. But, I just realized I forgot to take the curlers out.
This is looking back up the hill we had just come down.
We made it across, now we are waiting for Fruitcakes and Young at Heart to appear.
All four boats enjoyed the ride; everyone thought it was quite an experience.
The Little Chute
The Little Chute comes quickly in the waterway and was quite a surprise of a narrow fast moving current. Get on and ride it down. No pictures we were too busy with the boat.
Wow! That's cool!
