There are still no height boards. We passed under with air draft of 63.5 ft. plus antenna, just after high tide (+6.5 ft). The water was just about to the top of the 3rd fender board and we cleared with our antenna scraping.

Still no height boards. Passed under with air draft of 62.5 ft., at high tide (+6.3 ft). The water was at the 3rd fender board and we cleared just fine.

Still no tide boards on either side. We have 63.5 draft and went under with the top of the sixth fender board showing. Had plenty of room, maybe an extra 2'

No height gauges on this bridge. This has been reported to the USCG by me several times with no improvement.

No tide boards north or southbound. Went under at low tide with a 64' mast without a problem.
