Its a long ways out there if they suggest that the drawbridge wont open for you.
Not that it would help picking a fight with the poor bridge tender, but boats were here before automobiles, so if I read correctly boats are allowed priority through bridges (unless an emergency, etc.). I do believe that particular bridge in question has scheduled openings if boats are around. But we got through last time with a quick hail on the handheld VHF. It didn't hurt that Tim offered to throw a beer up to him...

Clermont, FL, USA | Anyone know if we get to sail outside for F16s? Its a long ways out there if they suggest that the drawbridge wont open for you. I doubt that would be an issue. The road isn't all that heavily traveled and we were pretty efficent getting through the bridge. The fleet was through the bridge in 5 to 8 minutes tops.

Two hours, minimum.
I'm boatless.

I was banned from the compound years ago so not recently.

Sebring, Florida. | Any sailor worth his nads should be able to heal his boat over 45 degrees and sail under that bridge, it's pretty high. Heck, I'll do it with my kite up, solo!
