Fog then Sun
... seen very few boats coming in the other direction. The next lock we come to is the commercial lock; it is much bigger than the others and is operated for us by a lock master. Lights indicate when to wait and when to go. The water level rose about 3.5 metres. Once through the lock we keep cruising, enjoying the beautiful and peaceful scenery.
