LNM: Special Requirements for Locking during COVID-19 Restrictions
Our thanks to Specialist Erica Skolte for this important notice.
Reminder:
If you lock through Canaveral or the Okeechobee Waterway, please put the numbers for the Corps locks into your phone. Call ahead before you approach. Turn off your radar, if you have it, prior to entering the lock. Remember to listen to any guidance offered by the lock operator to ensure everyone’s safety as you lock through, and everyone on board must wear a correctly fitted (zipped up or fastened) life jacket when locking through!

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.
