That was certainly in the plan at one point, but the issue wasn't water 
getting under it per se, it was getting the track high enough to allow 
crews to row under the line. However I thought they decided to drop that 
  because of the costs to described although I can't now remember what 
their solution was for getting the boats past the line.
