Feeling somewhat embarrassed by my comments on the boaty day thread here, I checked out the position this morning.

There is an intermittent fault on the electrics which defying resolution until EA can get a team down to fix it.

Rather than leaving the lock inoperable the lock has been set to hand winding when the lock is unattended.

Although a bit tedious it avoids anyone being stuck in the lock should it fail again - as would happen if OOPS had been left on.

"We" should be grateful to the lockie for doing that so promptly.
 
Thanks....good to know....wasn't the end of the world having to hand-wind but hopefully they will get it fixed soon so I can avoid over-exertion :-)
