Top pic shows floating bridge open and a sail boat approaching. In the second pic boat has almost cleared the bridge. Third pic shows the boat is past the bridge. Bottom pic is from the roadway at just about where the bridge opens. Traffic backed up several miles during this operation.
The Hood Canal is a fjord formed by a glacier 13, 000 years ago. It was named in 1792 in honor of Admiral Lord Samuel Hood.
The bridge withstands 16 1/2 foot tides.
