We were in front of the bridge, at the last marker, at 12:15 and the tender refused to open the bridge for another 30 minutes. With major wake and wind you can't get that close but he still refused to open at the time indicated openings occur. Extremely unhelpful.

January 8 we approached the bridge in the the time that the Bridgemaster stated. We were at the marker, we were under heavy wind and could make the crossing. He refused to let us go, made us wait 30 minutes! Not only dangerous but terrible management of the waterway.

Weekend operator constantly closes bridge early and waits to open it late. Asked for an exception in a tropical storm warning with zero street traffic and he still wouldn’t help.
