Big point. If the Canal/lock is owned and maintained by the County, then the
Corp has no first hand interest, responsibility, or knowledge of said "lock".

Corps, as well as the CG, makes specific mention of the canal, and specifically
states there is a "gate" there but not a lock.

maybe the Corps and the CG each believe a lock is used to move a boat from a
body of water at one level to a body of water at another, while a gate is used
to stop water flowing in one direction or the other.

but what do they know?

Your description and the Coast Pilot description seem to vary..... can you
explain that?

a.) I have been there, and b.) I know boaters who keep there boats there, and
c.) I have talk with marina owners in the area, d.) I know the difference
between a lock and a gate.

No, you have settled on a description which suits your argument and are too
stupid to realize that others may describe the "lock", "gate" in terms other
than yours, and AGAIN, you are too stupid to realize that their terminology is
just as valid as yours for a number of reasons.
As per usual, Doodles, you've created and maintained a stupid argument for the
simple reason that you have a very narrow field of experience and knowledge on
the subject and your mental capacity limits your ability to think "outside the
box".

Doodles, some bad news for you..... What the Corps or USCG think or say, is NOT
"the word according to God".
If they don't consider it a "lock" ..... whoopdeedoo. There opinion is about as
important or valid..... as yours (and we know that ain't worth cowpies).
In all the arguments, I see you've never considered NOAA .... is that because
you think the USCG is the one who makes the charts and Coast pilot, or is that
because they sprecht differently?
In truth, amateur mariner dumb butt, if someone wishes to call it a lock, then
waddahey .... itsa lock.

You really do need to return to the home for some "meds adjustment"

okay squathead, you call 'em the way you see 'em and I will call them the way
both the CG and Corps of Engineers see them.

right, yo-yo. whatever was either -- let alone both -- the Coast Guard or the
Army Corps of Engineers thinking? obviously you need to inform each and both
that they are to never again make any statements without first getting your
express permission.

Yeah, I'll bet you encounter lots of locks and gates after each date.

not a lot, hoary. some women, of course, are kinky and like those locks, and
some even like getting tied to a gate swinging back and forth.

Now Doodles, if "you" wish to believe that the CG or Corp is the final "word"
in all things waterborne, please feel free to do so.
All you have to do, is realize that not all of us are so limited in our
thinking, as yourself.

Exactly. What "DO" they know?
BTW, let's assume that the canal/lock in question runs N-S. Now, if the tidal
current is flowing at a good rate through the canal/lock from N-S, could we
assume that the water to the South is at a lower level than the water to the
North?
If you should answer this in the affirmative, then we can say that the lock is
used to raise or lower (even if only inches) vessels, though the main reason
may have more to do with overcoming the dangers of a strong current, and get
vessels, safely through the area........ just a thought.
