Locking through Fort Loudon Dam and Lock

We cruised from Wolf Creek anchorage , locked through and anchored at Ish Creek for the night on the Tennessee River. Locking through was somewhat of a pain only because there was a barge locking through and seem to be having some trouble coming out of the locks, which was delaying boaters. Finally after four hours we scooted behind the barge(as per lockmaster's instructions) and were able to lock through going up river. We had about an hour daylight left to make it to Ish creek so we did and dropped the hook. Beautiful night and quiet anchorage.
