Please sound the horn.

I've been through Potter bridge many times over the last 35 years, the only time I sounded it was when I discovered it had been fitted inside the helm console! so the only people who could hear it were on board any way!!

Every other time I've been through I was a bit busy paddling, during the 3 Rivers race, we definitely could have done with a horn for that!

The only time we use the horn for the bridges is the three long blasts of the horn for Reedham and Somerleyton bridges if we have not been able to contact the operatives by phone.

Canals however are another issue where bridges always seem to be on a blind corner and you can almost guarantee that a boat will be coming the other way, so in that case we always use the horn and hope that a boat approaching a bridge may hear it.
