Locks unlocked
Article Abstract:
Recreational boaters should wait for a signal from the lockmaster before entering a lock. Rafting to a larger boat can protect a small boat from turbulence. Caution when approaching a lock and dam from upstream and careful tending of lock lines are essential.

Article Abstract:
A boat's speed should be decreased as conditions grow rough. The trim needs adjustment, and the propeller should not be allowed to leave the water. Tacking is a good strategy when the boat must travel broadside to the swells.
