We helped a lone boater through a lift and swing bridge. It would have been a real pain on his own. Still I couldn’t get the second one open and had to swap to driving so Shane could operate it In the meantime other boats appeared in both directions and then I got grounded. I wanted to let the (patiently) waiting boats through. I intended to reverse but a boat that had arrived behind behind us (later than the waiting boats at the other side) had come up right behind me so I had no space to reverse off without bashing him. I gestured to him to go back to give space telling him I was aground, but in stead he told his wife to tie a rope on to the back to tow me. This didn’t help at all and I just told her I could reverse if they moved back so we disentangled and he decided rather than reverse and wait, he’d just come through between all the other boats and then I got away easily. Whether just by reversing of his boat moving the water a bit I don’t know, but he should really have not come through the bridge so close behind at all. Anyway we got sorted in the end.
