Vessel Type: Sail
LOA: 31'
Draft: 4.5'The opening under the bridge is extremely narrow, so expect strong currents. If your vessel is lightly powered, when running with the current, be sure to avoid being carried into the bridge or being carried by eddies into the concrete walls and docks along the sides. During weekends and particularly in season, many small boats mill around the boat ramp next to the southwestern bridge abutment at Silver Palm Park, adding to the confusion. This is usually a very busy area and extra caution should be taken.
