        I took a boat through the St Lucie Lock on the Okeechobee Waterway Wednesday and was surprised they only accepted 2 boats in the lock. I was boat #2. I transit this lock often and was surprised two other boats were told to wait for the next opening. I usually see the lock FULL of boats, on BOTH side of the chamber.

        I saw this morning that the locks are practicing safe distancing between boats.
