Vessel Type: Sail
LOA: 43'
Draft: 5.5'Quick, courteous service. Very smooth lift up. Like all the locks I've seen since Mobile, this one is well-maintained and squared-away in a professional manner. The approach, as expected, is well-dredged and well marked.

Vessel Type: Power
LOA: 43'
Draft: 4.0'Great Lock through Wheeler today. Lock master let us get right through even though he had a couple big barges on him. May have been a lucky coordination with them!
