  Lower Brewers. 6/5/2024. The manual manipulation of lock and swing bridge by lock staff is fascinating. Power is at the bottom of the lock which has a park-like atmosphere. The T-Mobile signal strength was strongest at the top of the lock by the washrooms. Enroute from Kingston buoy S114 appears to be out of position. Following this overnight and proceeding north bound to Upper Brewers the water immediately prior to the lock is shoal (water depth of 3ft) and tricky to navigate. Mind buoys, water sounding and navigation charts.
