137 Both in open water Click Two to edit Tough Master Bridges title style Both subject to high crosswinds Galveston Causeway had long fender system Queen Isabella in a bend 137 Both subject to very strong tidal forces Both have high use by recreational boaters Very experienced people consider both very difficult to make Galveston Causeway has the distinction of being named an official hazard to navigation 5.4 Infrastructure
138 Click Pontoon edit Master Bridges title style Pontoon or swing bridges made of barges pulled out of the way by cables High level of communication and cooperation needed by both mariners and bridge tenders A frequent problem that has improved due to cooperative efforts of both parties Infrastructure
139 Click to edit Lift Master Bridgestitle style Infrastructure
140 Click to Mooring edit Master Buoys title style Principles of operation 140 Tethered to the bottom by a length of chain attached to an anchor Provide a place to stop and secure tows without worry of the tide falling out from under tows while pushed into the bank Allow boats to trip barges across rivers like the Brazos and Colorado 5.4 Infrastructure
141 Mooring buoys, though fixed to the bottom, move in all directions to the extent of their anchor chain and tidal influence Click to Mooring edit Master Buoys title style Infrastructure
142 This can be as much as 20 to 40 feet; which is significant given a 125 foot channel and a 50 foot wide tow tied to the buoy Click to Mooring edit Master Buoys title style Infrastructure

150 Click to The edit Big Master Problem title style 150 We lose sight of small craft at a minimum of 275 and 300 feet from our bow. Captains must assume that the small craft is still coming at their bow. Many times we have sounded the five whistle danger signal and started backing only to see the small craft come darting down the side of the tow waving like we were blowing our horn in support of their cool boat or their choice of libation. 5.5 Special Considerations
151 Click to The edit Big Master Problem title style Special Considerations
