One afternoon we spent a couple of hours down at the locks. While we sat and ate our lunch we were entertained by a sea lion eating his meal of salmon. He knew right where to find lots of fish as they were heading up the fish ladder. We then observed the fish fighting their way upstream. Later, we made our way over to watch the boats as they went through the locks. The most fun was the larger one which they filled up with lots of boats that had to be tethered together. The water was then let out so the boats were at a lower level to continue on. It was a lot of fun to watch the whole process.
