We will depart the City Docks following a mandatory Safety Briefing @ 10:45. We will lock through as a group. Exit the locks and do a leisurely cruise along the New Albany shore while debriefing. Turn around and lock back through upriver. Exit the locks and return to your marinas as experienced Lockers.
