Look at a chart, maybe. It's called seamanship.


The chart is only going to show you channel span heights (typically the center) in relation to tide. If you're not entering through the defined "channel" under the bridge, you're on your own.


Thanks for that tidbit.

That one is not mine, it is Mica's. We only went about half way to the bridge.

Craig , Your video work on the collision was excellent. Truly cool under fire. Great job.

Thanks, the spin pole from the Nacra came very close to me. I was only looking through a 3 1/4" screen and hard to judge the distance as it was coming. There was so much going on, I was not sure what I actually saw until I saw the footage.

Keeping it steady when zoomed in was almost impossible on a moving boat. I did another version first without the interview JC used for SA.

Wish I had more time and skill to do a better editing job but as they say, at some point you have to put down the pencil.

Gosh, Guess we didn't tell anyone there was a bridge.., oops! Two bridges on the course. We also neglected to tell them there were islands and reefs and sandbars and channels, and God knows what all.., maybe even some big fish out there. Oops! and there were waves we forgot to mention.
Silly us.

Yeah! Damnit Rick, you could have told us that lines can make blisters on hands, that I might get wet on a catamaran, and that I might get hungry if I don't eat or thirsty if I don't drink. I swear...these race committees today.... grin

It is called the Steeplechase afterall. The presence of obstacles and the pursuent navigating of said obstacles is implied.

And spray paint those shallow areas so I can see them better.

I believe that they are painted. I think the color is "classic sand" if I'm not mistaken. Sometimes they use "classic weed" but that's more unusual.

How is it Rick's fault that you guys aren't sailing Hobie 16s or Waves for this event? Nice short masts, no boards, nice kick-up rudders...

With waves we can bang into each other all we want. Good thing too 'cause the race would take a week.

Now you're talking about the WWF that Perf Sails hosts in Melbourne FL. bumper boats in Waves followed by bar fly-bys.
