That was the only time we ever had a problem on the S&W. The cause was the unsupervised child from the other boat!

Kidderminster Lock has a rise of 11' 10" with a short gate. The water bounced off the sides and into the well deck.

They are closed and the cratch covers down when we go up narrow locks. On that trip we had visitors with us so the covers weren't down and fortunately they had shut the doors!

70' boat going up Kidderminster lock. Child from boat waiting to come down opened the gate paddle as the boat nudged the cill, filling the well deck with water! Luckily the front doors were closed, but even then some got inside the boat.

Work in progress outside the pump house at Calcutt bottom lock.
