This short story is a true story I assure you. I have of course changed some of the names, well what with GDPR and all that I suppose I better.
It all started when my brother and his wife (Aidan & Sue, and yes that is their real names) joined us on the boat for an overnight. It was one of those exceptionally sunny winter days. But no wind at all, so it all looked very summery.

The video is about the different types of canal locks but also about how they all operate on the same principles. I have to say that we really enjoyed filming it, it was challenging at times too.
Took this pic on Lough Garadice last weekend, which is part of the Shannon Erne Waterway.
Hope you’ll enjoy the video and please share it on your social media. Ta
