    • Clearance of Perdido Key – Gulf Beach Bridge Questioned (Statute Mile 172)

      We received the following inquiry from Captain Steve:

      I question the bridge clearence stated. I have seen a clearence of 65′ published in several other areas. 73 feet is wonderful but I have yet to see any sailboat even close to 40′ in the perdido area. The height needs to be officially confirmed.
      Steve

      While I agree that this is an unusual amount of vertical clearance for a Northern Gulf ICW fixed span, a check of the latest NOAA chart confirms these specs. Check out:

      Been under that bridge with a 55 ft mast and we weren’t even close. Looked to clear by at least 10 to 15 ft.

      I went under with 61′ mast and it looked to be quite a bit higher than my stick.

      4 deck towboats transit this area; when did the confusion start?
