is thios the Tawe barrage lock or that dreadful one into the marina?

 

[Jinks]

It's the dreadful one into the marina. They have had to take the gates off for maintenance so it's been on free flow for a few weeks but now they have to put them back on so it will be closed until May 10th.

BTW it's not that dreadful, particularly on freeflow.

On freeflow there would be no problem. But when in use, its really ridiculously easy to hit the side on the left as you go in. Stupid piece of design no doubt by an architect rather than an engineer who sailed.
