We are 62.8 plus antenna. We cleared bridges showing 63 with antenna bent. We were were at the bridge showing 64,5 with tide still outgoing. We touch the bridge and our antenna was quite bent back. The boards might be off for a foot or so.

We went under this bridge 30min away from Low Tide. I wish I could upload a picture to show the boards...the 65 mark is almost covered by slime but the water was to the bottom of the 6th fender board which would be just under the 65ft mark. We have an air draft of 63.5ft and we cleared with a foot above the whip.

Our air height to top of the antenna is 64'. We have cleared many bridge showing 64' without touching or just barely touching. This bridge showed almost 65' and almost 6 full boards. Our antenna was bent over half way down. We estimate this bridge markings may be off at least at 1'.

Our mast is 63' plus tricolor light and with a reported bridge clearance of 64' and motoring south-bound on a mid-flood tide, we were worried. But when we got to the bridge, the clearance board read 65' (go figure?!) so we cleared this bridge with inches to spare… albeit not much. <p> <img src="https://www.waterwayguide.com/assets/img/uploads/2022/01/1642087340.jpg"> </p>

Tide board is WAY off. 6 of the fender boards were showing and the tide board marker of 65’ was completely out of the water. Our 63.5’ antenna scraped pretty hard all the way under. It was low tide at New River Inlet.

3 hours after low tide of 0.3 feet at New River inlet the board read 65.5 feet. We touched the antenna. That puts it 64.5 or a little less.

We approached this bridge heading north at low tide (0.4’ & 15 mins after the low for New River Inlet). Current still going out and bridge marker (markers on north & southbound sides) showed 64’6”. We made it but antenna touched undersides of bridge. Our mast plus antenna is 65’.
