Carolina Beach MM 294

Bridges turn out to be the great equalizer.
No matter how fast your boat goes, no matter how many boats pass you, or you pass.... you all end up waiting for the bridge to open. So all the boats that you passed or all the boats that have pass you.... all end up bunched together, waiting for the bridge in the same spot.
Might as well take your time. I put the engine in neutral and drifted for 50 minutes with the current at 1.8 knots and was right there when the bridge opened and waved at all the skippers that past me.
Like they say, if you don't have the time, you shouldn't be here.
