Bridge comment on Channel Five Bridge

Comment by: Richard Kniffin on Oct 2, 2023
Vessel Type: Sail
LOA: 49'

This Bridge is 64 feet at low tide. I went through this bridge on May 16, 2023. Assuming the clearance sign on the bridges’ fender is accurate it read 64’ at 2 hours past low tide (around 1545). My Hunter 49 has a mast height of 63.3 feet from the waterline and I have a whip antenna that extends another 12” This antenna tapped the bottom of the bridge in the center as I went through.
