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.

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".
