jeffies, you finally admit the gates ar open on a an ebb tide, but then state
there is a huge difference in tide levels between the two bays.
think about it, jeffies. you just stated that the current would *not* flow
north.
jeffies, I have seen the current flow south on an ebb and north on a flood, the
gates wide open..
so, jeffies, gargble around some more, continuing to prove to one and all you
either are purposely a contentious turd or you are trying desparately to cover
your abject stewpedity.

Gawd Jaxie, what a blatant liar you are! Have you no shame??? Have
you ever told the truth about anything?

jeffie, your post below shows clearly just to what lengths you will go to
ignore ALL reality to keep your erroneous first thoughts in place. you
admit
you have been shown the dictionary meanings of the words, you admit you
understand that there is no difference in water levels,
A lie - The tide tables are pretty clear there is a significant
difference in the tide levels between the two bays. I pointed this out
early on - you seemed to claim this was impossible, but the tables don't
lie. This is just one of the many instances where you have shown your
complete ignorance of things nautical.
you admit the gates are often left open,
Another lie - I only said that I wouldn't be surprised if it happened.
You provided no evidence it does, other than your claim, which is worthless.
Of course, the lock gates were designed to automatically open when the
current runs south - I pointed that out in my first post.
you admit, the purpose of the gates was and is to prevent
saltier Hampton Bay water from entering Peconic Bay,
Another lie - I never mentioned the original purpose of the facility,
only how the Coast Pilot says they operate now. The gates and lock were
built before a Hurricane (1938?) opened Shinnecock Inlet so the
conditions have changed. The lock, BTW, was added years after the
original tide gates were built.
you admit the CG says the
thing is is gate not a lock,
Another lie - I have found no mention of the facility from the CG. You
have made this claim, but you obviously made it up. The Coast Pilot,
published by the Office of Coast Survey under NOAA is quite clear there
are tide gates and a lock.
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT you still insist it is
lock because ********you****** looked at a picture and *******you********
can't
imagine anything with two gates that can not be a lock.
I call it a lock because it is a lock. NOAA calls it a lock. The Corps
of Eng calls it a lock. The company that repaired it recently calls it
a lock. The agency that owns and maintains it calls it a lock. The
lock tender that runs it calls is a lock. Numerous reports describe it
as a lock. Several reports of transit describe it functioning as a
lock. All of this is from published sites I've provided. And a picture
of it clearly shows its a lock:

The only thing that is different about it is that the gates are designed
to stay open when the current runs south. And there are tide gates next
to the lock that open with the southerly current But I said that on
my very first post.
Kriste almighty, jeffies, just how is anyone going to transit the canal
when
the gate is closed without opening it????????????????????? THEN you have
to
have two (2) gates, otherwise the water would flow into Peconic Bay when
you
opened the gate. Duh.
What? Are you claiming now that you don't know how a lock works?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! Are you claiming it can't be a lock because its
a chamber with with gates on both ends???
perhaps you should study this for a while, jaxie:

I knew there was a fundamental problem here - you have no idea how a
lock works!!! What a bozo you are, jaxie!!!
