I think the one for one sounds like the most polite way to do it, but certainly very inefficient. We went under the bridge on Sunday and the boats were backed up about 12 on each side. They were all jammed up, some sideways and others trying to back up to avoid hitting the boat in front of them. It was the biggest mess I have seen there before. They were all trying to be nice and do the one for one so naturally the next guy would do one for one. Had they all just realized how much more efficiently it would have been to send 3 or 4 boats through at a time they all would have been through in far less time with far less aggrivation. Sometimes common sense is far more important than trying to be politically correct.
