Tide board sign says +3 ft additional at center. Went through at mid-tide falling; board showed almost 22 ft. Our 22 ft air draft cleared easily with at least 2 ft. above.

Worst bridge along the ICW opens 3 minutes early and won't raise when you are there on time. Makes you take down your sails for no reason.

RJ's comment are mute and void...what about the RR tracks on the other side that are continuously opening and closing... Bridges are for marine vessels only and if 2-3 minutes detours you from a scheduled on time arrival at your destination... leave 5-10 early. In the meantime.. This bridge has been AWESOME with accommodating marine vessels and EMC vehicles

And I’m talking about vehicle traffic trying to get over bridge in time. Thanks

Tender needs an accurate clock. Opens 2-3 min early sometimes which matters to us who depend on a schedule! I’m not talking about on demand openings for commercial vessels. What good is timed openings if you don’t stick to the times!

Make sure you hail this bridge as "Lantana" and not "Ocean Avenue". The bridge just south in Boynton Beach answers to "Ocean Avenue" and I've heard confusion on the radio.
