    Original bridge has gone but there is still work going on to clear the debris. Channel is still partially obstructed but there was at least 50' of horizontal clearance when we went through.
    No height boards at the moment but with the barge boards showing at least a foot below the high water mark our 63.5' mast cleared without issue

    Followed the directions and we also saw nothing less than 7 feet on the way in. Seems to tie closely to what we saw on the Navionics and AquaMap charts. On our first attempt we tried to follow the channel between the southern island and the dock entrance. That route is much shallower - less than 6 feet
    depth.
    Good holding in thick black mud.

    Our boat needed the prop shaft bearings replacing. We got hauled out and they guys did a great job getting everything fixed. Rich and Glen were very good. Would definitely come back if we needed more work doing.

    Got under the bridge at 1/2 tide but hit the VHF antenna so that makes the clearance ~64.5, however the bigger issue is that there is a crane barge blocking most of the channel as you go through - horizontal clearance is restricted to about 20' - we have a 16' beam and it was tight getting through especially with the current.
