I would never go under the GI bridge side by side a boat coming at me. Stricly a "one at a time" bridge.
Check the lake level next time you pass thru.

boating etiquette Would this term qualify as an oxymoron?

When I go through the GI Bridge (UNLIGHTED the last time I went through and most of this summer!) and there are boats on the other side I wait until there is a reasonable gap.

A judgement call, yes, but one that has worked for me for decades! I live on one side of the bridge and a friend lives on the other so while I sometimes go around the island usually I go under the bridge.

Going under the bridge beem to beem AT HEADWAY SPEED is nuts unless you are talking PWCs!

Today we took one of our boats out at Lee's Mills. I waited patiently with my boat while someone put their boat in at the launch. My husband was already to back down the launch when a truck cut him off. A boat left the dock and whipped by me to take out his boat. I sometimes wonder what has happened to manners. The people that did this were not young kids, but 50ish. They should have known better!
