On Tuesday I watched a rather long double barge manoeuvring the first part of it into a short sluice. At first I didn’t even notice how long the thing really was as I spotted it from behind and was grinning at the name of it, “Dick”, from Praha. I cycled past it, crossed the sluice at the road bridge and was now able to see “Dick-1”. I was thinking that was odd when I finally realised that there were actually two barges connected to each other. Dick was pushing Dick-1 into the sluice. Once in place, people got busy uncoupling the two boats and Dick came out backwards to make space for the sluice gates coming up from below. I stopped watching at that point but kept wondering whether Dick-1 had a functioning motor too to get out of the sluice at the other end… 🤔
