Aw crap. Dammit, dammit, dammit.:(

I missed him, Rik-- it took me a minute but I know how it happened. If you look at the last couple of pix in the composite shot in post 20 you can clearly see him on the far right in front of the two OL's. And, in the lunch shot in post 2 you can see his boat tied to the dock.

The OL's broke off and came under the center of the bridge and he continued on off to my right. In this shot you can see his wake continuing on straight and the OL's are just starting to turn. I was so focused on that lead pack bearing down on me that I totally missed him... they were moving pretty good and I didn't have a whole lot of time. Sorry.

I noticed a few people looking my way and some waved, but I imagine most were focused on gettin under the bridge. Here's your close-up...:D

And yeah- I think it would be safe to say that everyone was having a good time!

Why are the boats turning so much?

Looking at the picture, they all are turning for some reason within the last 1/4 mile. 1 main area to pass under the bridge?

You got it. You can pass under the bridge pretty much anywhere but it is much narrower between the pillars.... plus lots of boats fishing in those areas as well. The main span is the widest and has no boats anchored or fishing.
