Al,

I have seen it before the same system but more modern than the old Belgium ones.

Those are much older and still used. Our boating Magzin De Waterkampioen had a bus trip organised a couple of years ago to visit them in Belgium you have to pass them when you want to go to France. But am I glad I live in a flat country!

Saw your pic's of your nice new boat! congrats that's delivered! Frans isn't in the water yet. When driving on the ring from the bridge I also can see his Marina and saw his boat still on dry land.

Thanks Al for hosting. You would never get some of the boats over here through the opening in the lock. Completely different style of inland cruising. :D

sunnydude2,

No problem, I don't mind doing it for you, or anyone else that would
like to post something but can't for some reason. I have some free
space up on line available as long as they are not really large files .... :D

Same goes for re-sizing a photo, if you need one resized, let me know.

There's gotta be a serious pucker factor when using that thing the first time.

We can joke about it, but if the "Six Flags" amusement park ride designers
see it, you may see a new ride at their parks .... http://www.binaryrhyme.com/ubbicons/roflmao.gif
