Draft: 6.0'Doing recon for our upcoming trip south, I went over the swing bridge and saw 62ft on the southbound boards at high tide. Yikes. We wouldn't make that.

Draft: 5.5'When we hailed the Socastee swing bridge tender, we asked if she knew the Socastee Hwy fixed bridge height. She said 64'. We passed under without a problem, on a mid-tide, an air draft of 63' + tricolor light, and confirmed 64'+ on the bridge clearance board.
