Row through and avoid stopping except for emergencies. River curves and rowers tend to drift to or across the center to maintain straight line. Especially in warmer months, but also at other times, ARC is conducting classes in this area. No straightline rowing either direction. Be alert for classes and novice rowers.
Rowers turn before the island.
If not circling the island, stop before the west end of the island. Fishers go out in the dark in waders and unlighted boats. The Navy is looking at inviting to the next meeting a representative of whatever fishing groups can be identified, or seeking to post signs at Fiesta Garden that boats on the river in the dark must by law be lighted. Boaters stop under the bridges in the shade or stop just on either side of a bridge. Row at least three strokes through any bridge, farther if rowing upstream or upwind.
