I have a customer that required some attention on their locks in the San Juan islands. I was fortunate enough in November to take the boat out there, moor at their dock and survey the house for some locks. In January I drove up via ferry and installed the locks. I woke up and left the house early to take the boat back up, but it was raining very hard and blowing like crazy. So I decided to drive up to the ferry(1 HR), take the ferry (1+hr), do the job and return. The job took less than an hour to install these locks. Problem was there was a 4 1/2 hour wait until the next ferry came around. So Friday I got the call that one lock was defective. So yesterday I filled up the boat and headed back out. Weather didn't look great where I lived but figured I'd put up with rain this time.
Anyway, I towed the boat up and put her in. Sorry for the crappy photos from my phone.
Leaving Washington Park
View to Port(south)
view to starboard(north) a couple seconds later - Looking better.
After the job was done a diversion to Friday Harbor, waiting for the tide to come back up so I could get the boat back out of the water
