Interesting research, Bob. I think I see the power plant on the satellite map about 1400m south of the bridge on the west shore. From what I understand the ideal course passes just left of the hump on the bridge. So, a little less than halfway across the bridge (going East). That would put you ~2500m east of the power plant outlet. Sounds like you may have been quite a bit closer than that?
