| Page 20 – Fog and Locks Day 7 – October 28, 2005 We go through 66 locks on our journey from Amsterdam to the Black Sea. The time of the ship’s arrival at each lock has to be booked a year in advance. At this point in our journey we are going up in the locks and we are going upstream. When we cross the continental divide we begin going down the steps in the locks and downstream to the Black Sea. The ship enters the lock, the gate closes and the lock fills with water. When it is full we exit at the other end of the lock, having gone up a step. The locks have different ways of opening and closing. This one opens like a gate. Others open vertically, like a door rising upwards. Its most interesting to watch. |
