btw, while there is a "gate" there sometimes closed to prevent wholesale

=============================
2 gates = 1 lock
Shinnecock canal has 2 gates. Gate 1 opens, boat enters, Gate 1
closes, water level equalizes, gate 2 opens, boat leaves.
Suez canal it's not, lock it is. Been there, done that. I once did
97 locks in two weeks. Shinnecock is a lock.
