Captain's Choice

Two couples learning to sail on the York River got a rare view of a Navy submarine. En route to the Naval Weapons Station, it’s the captain’s choice whether to request an opening of the Coleman Bridge. The sub can easily clear the bridge in terms of height, but opening ensures greater security. However, scooting under an open bridge is much less obvious. Myriad issues drive the decision. Consider that next time you play golf in a captain’s choice tournament.
