IHNC (Industrial Canal) Lock closing for repair

[McGillicuddy]

Are any of the locals heading to Madisonville for the Wooden Boat Festival? The weather is glorious. I'm thinking of bringing Scot Free on Thursday although my deckhand just begged out. I'm sure I can find another.

Just talked with the Lockmaster, Locks WILL NOT be repaired and reopened as planned for end of Nov, they are saying sometime mid Dec.

Wifey B: Faking look of surprise. Shocking!

Yeah, the big surprise would have been to be done on schedule!

I called the lockmaster's number a while ago, the lady who answered the phone said the lock is not operational now, when I asked if they had any idea when it would be she said "No because we are waiting on a part."

We can probably blame this delay on me and my bad luck....

The deal fell apart on the boat that I figured about this time I'd be bringing back to Texas from East of the lock... Guess the "Lock Gods" are delaying completion of the work in hopes to catch me on the next boat!

This roller coaster ride is getting to be frustrating!

Thanks Steve !!! Hope it is fixed by March.

I called the Lock Wall this morning and was told they are open!
