Hi Albrecht! I watched the videos(#2 would not play). Number 1 was fine. Numbers 3 & 4 you selected the plots before you were supposed to. You have to pass through the locks, and be near the dot in the canal, on a heading through the canal, when you select the plot. Then it will work right. I suggest using the lock on the right of the 2 available, it will line you up better with the dot in the canal both ways. To sum it up, you self navigate all the way through the locks, then select the plot when you are near the dot. The dot is the one my curser is pointing at in my second picture. I hope this helps you out.
