The gentleman you refer to had to sell the boat a few months later due to the onset of Parkinsons disease, maybe this was the reason he did not, or was unable to assist his wife with the locks. Things are not always what they seem.<br />With regards<br />David Kirk (NB Shield Maiden)dknoreply@blogger.com
