A really interesting posting, Peter. But the last two times I've crossed it - 2007 and 2006 - it was fixed to give priority to the Bridgewater. I went straight over both times and it seemed unmanned. Are you saying that what was unusual is not the priority which I experienced given to the MSC in 1984, but the priority given to the Bridgewater more recently?
