Subject: Shinnecock Inlet
From: (JAXAshby) 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? 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.

shen shows just how miserable is his understanding of tidal flows thusly:

Are you still claiming the CG and Corps support your nonsense? Why haven't you been
able to provide a link? Is it because you made it up? "JAXAshby" wrote in message ... of course. Me and the USCG and the USA C of Eng.

no. I got that nonsense from them, not them from me. |

Hey jaxie. I just called the lock tender on the Shinnecock Canal. I asked him if the
locks were a tidegate or locks. He said "We have both." I asked again, are the locks regular locks like on the Erie Canal, with a gate at both ends, that raises and lowers the boats? And he said "Absolutely." I guess that settles it. You were probably never there, and probably don't know the difference between a gate and a lock. You never talked to the CG, or the Corps. In fact, you just made this all up, didn't you? BTW, anyone who wants to verify this could track down the phone number - I won't publish it here, but he's a Suffolk County employee.
