Lock.

Some readers know that we spend summer in Europe travelling by small boat on the inland waterways.   This involved negotiating hundreds of locks in any given season, many of them tens of metres deep.

At Pelican Waters, there is a lock and I often go to marvel at it when I feel homesick for my northern life.   The height of the water does vary with the tide, but it's never going to be a challenge for most boaters.
