    Bridge Information

    When approaching a bridge always make sure that everybody aboard the vessel is inside the boat. Check that nothing has been left on the roof. Lower the canopy if necessary, and slow down as you approach the bridge. Check the height of your boat against the gauge on the bridge, do you have enough clearance? Be aware of boats trying to move through the bridge from the other side, the boat travelling with the current has right of way.
