One of the possible cruises after the gathering is up the Choptank. There is one bascule bridge (the guy is never there) with a10' clearance. What is the clearance for a 22 and a 25? Can we get under that bridge?

Tom,

I'll have to measure Valkyrie tomorrow, but with the tall arch and radar, even with antenna and GPS extension folded down, I might have a problem.

I'll check tomorow.

Tom,

I just measured Valkyrie and from the waterline to the top of the radar on the tall arch, I'm looking at a few inches over 9 feet with the 4 foot antenna and 2 foot GPS extensions folded down.

So with the boat loaded, the tide right and if I hold my mouth just right, it should be okay. If I'm a little too tall, I'll just go very fast and see if momentum will force it through! If I go that route, I'll definitely want video!

Thanks Nick,

If we can't get under, it is ok because the bridge is almost at the end of the 70 mile river...

I'm still going to call about the picture setup...just racing around with all kinds of stuff..kids, music, travel..
