As we cruise along the river (oh so pleasant) we have 66 locks to traverse as the river level changes, we encounter small hydroelectric dams and different rivers. Our boat slides into the lock and the gates close behind it and the lock fills with water and we exit out the front at a new level.Pretty slick, and can you tell there are no rivers in San Diego?
We also find some very low bridges! The Captain’s pilot house hydraulically lowers into the ship and those of us on deck must decide where to be. Tho’ the deck chairs are low, today I threw myself onto the deck in order to keep my head!

Is it noisy when you go through, and when they lower the captains house? Is it a smooth transition, or is it bumpy? And does this usually happen during the daylight? I know, questions, questions, questions…..inquiring minds want to know…..:-)
