Another Boating Etiquette Question

The most efficient way is certainly to let several boats go in each direction. I go under that bridge at least 6-10 times a week and the back ups occur when people start the one at a time thing. It doesn't make much sense to have up to 15 boats idling in circles taking turns when it is not necessary.

Sure, you can go around the island but sometimes it is much rougher on the outside.

I know it doesn't look or feel as polite but it makes the most sense (and is the most environmentally friendly)!
