I got a kick out of Jax' reference to people trying to make the Shinnecock
canal/lock into the Suez Canal...... mthere are NO locks in the Suez.
there aren't in the Shinnecock canal (no caps) either. There is a lock there
that is sometimes closed, the reason being some frickin' gov employee with too
much time on his/her hands worried that normal tidal flow in the the Peconic
would somehow harm the waterlife there.
