I just missed the opening of the Centerville Bridge last night before the afternoon closure so had to wait for an hour and a half.

This is on their return. The strokes got a bit sloppy after the coxwain said, "Hey girls, smile, he's taking our picture."
Two other shells had to be diverted by the coach as well. Who would have thought to encounter these in the ICW?
