How would you know what it is like on a long narrow flight such as the
Tardebigge, you have a wide beam barge? Your chances of being involved
in this scenario are far less than mine. We close the gates after us
because that it what we are asked to do and I don't want to cause
those following us any more problems than we have to. It's pure
consideration for others. QED.
