    Lock master was professional and courteous. We called ahead to let them know we were a party of four going southbound. The gate was open and they were ready for us as we approached. Locking was smooth and it took us approximately 30 minutes to complete locking through this lock.

    Went through the lock going down river and on the third pin in on starboard side. There were leaks in the lock on the starboard side that sprayed water all over our boat and into the cockpit. Suggest using the port side of the lock when going southbound.
