What I am referring to is the heavy cable they normally lower between the boat and the gates to keep the boat from hitting the gate if something goes wrong with the mooring lines. I have noticed they have not been lowering the boom holding the cable for either the down bound or up bound boats...

Is the arresting boom on the lower end of the Poe Lock inoperative?
