The bridgetender asked me when I asked for the opening if I was the captain. As a 100 ton captain and a female, I don't appreciate his inference that we didn't need a bridge opening. He made me spell my home port twice, spell my name twice, give documentation number then gave the standard line that he was going to report me to the Coast Guard for an unnecessary opening. With our windfinder we are almost 25 feet. It read 23 on the scale in front. What a chauvinistic jerk!
