Day 6 was glorious, both in terms of weather and mood (a warm<\/span> futon and\na hot<\/span> bath have a way<\/span> of helping the latter).

A channel has been created at the southern end of the “land bridge” to\nallow boats into the pinched off area. We didn't realize it on the way in,\nbut on the way out we saw that the man-made bridge over the channel rotates\nabout its center, to allow larger boats through...<\/p>\n\n
