The bridge tender never said anything but then I usually leave in the morning when heading south and I've never been the only one through.

I commented a few weeks ago about how help...Hi Bob<br /><br />I commented a few weeks ago about how helpful your blog has been to us since we are first timers. Glad you got to Key West safely and are enjoying family. We also made it to our destination Marathon on 2/1 after sitting out some nasty weather in Fort Lauderdale, we have a fantastic slip at Marathon Marina we a great view (that we booked a year ago). We are also ready for this cool weather to leave but guess we can't complain since they have had snow and cold back in the Philly area were we call home.<br />I have a question for you, I also sail a 423, do you have the 17th Street Bridge in Fort Laudedale open for you? It's listed at 55' but The bridge tender told me that the 55' tide boards (which is what it was reading that day) are not at center but at the sides and implided we did not need it open. He did open it for us reluctantly but told us that he could barley see our mast as we passed. I was just wondering what your experience with that bridge has been. <br /><br />Bruce Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17228054221241502727noreply@blogger.com
