A good idea to write it down and carry it in the glovebox. So far I am able to carry everything in my mind, but that may not always be possible as the storage capacity is getting very full. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Do they still open the bridges if they can see that no boats are coming or going?

According to a direct question someone posed to the bridge master at the yacht club one morning at breakfast, "Are you *#%£#ing nuts? Why would I do that?" <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

Just take a picture of schedule with your phone and you can always refer to it.

With regarding to SEEING if no boats are coming or going, I THINK that it's not a matter of just showing up to go through, as I think you have to be on the list. And I believe there is a fee to go through, even at a regular opening (as opposed to a special opening, which I know they pay big bucks for!!).
