I'm planning a trip from Charleston SC to the Chesapeake Bay this spring/summer. I have a ton of books and a couple videos and I've been on Active Captain and Cruisers.net. Here is something I haven't seen covered so for those who have been there, I could use some information.
According to the information I have the locks and bridges are on a restricted schedule and open only four times a day. Also the same person operates the lock and bridge in each location. What I haven't been able to determine is:
Say you wait for and then go through a lock and lock up. Then you wait a few minutes for the bridge to open. Do boats traveling the other way go through the bridge and then into the lock to lock down at the same scheduled locking?
In other words, does the lock go both up and down four times per day?
