Day 9 Three Gorges Dam Lock Passage
In the first photo you can see how our ship is well below the doors. We had to wait until enough water rushed in to bring us to the right height. You can see this difference in the 2nd and 3rd photos. We then had to wait for the doors to open so we could sail out of this last lock.

Day 9 Three Gorges Dam Lock Passage
James took a break from watching the ship sail through the locks by playing a few games of mahjong with the ladies.

Day 9 Three Gorges Dam Lock Passage
Ships settled in close to one another and very close to the wall of the lock. The ships had to attach themselves to beams on the wall, to keep them in place. The way they were attached allowed the ropes to float up or down with the water level.
