So are there any local folks out there that can help me out?

Sure, give us a call. We'll all climb aboard so you're lower in the water.

I'll probably fill up with fuel and water to be as heavy as possible. But
that will only help for an inch or two. If I can get 20 or 30 locals with a
cooler full of beer to show up ... well, maybe I won't even make it to the
bridge. :-)
