Apparently we were being buffaloed by the bunkerers. The refueling (bunkering) process continued through the night due to faulty pumps on the fuel barges resulting in us missing our midnight low tide window to go under the bridge. So twelve hours later we went under it at mid-day.

The pile of girders that will eventually morph into a fabulous new Frank Gehry museum devoted to the natural world.
