Beware of the height of the powerlines. Another sailboat struck them and knocked out the power to most of the lower keys. The shoals have also shifted and the channel markers are bad guides. Go slow and watch the depth gauge, not to get stuck. Continue past the Channel markers by an extra 1/4 mile when exiting to the Atlantic.

  The power lines are charted at 76 feet.

It seems each time we travel Snake Creek and try to reach the bridge tender, we cannot make contact until we are right under the bridge. We have done multiple radio checks both ocean side and bay side with no issues, from several miles away. Not sure why this bridge can seem to hear us but we can’t hear them. Seems like a tx issue from the bridge VHF.

September 2019 - Maintenance on bridge includes tarps/screening underneath. Clarence is reduced by 3' per published notice to Mariners.
