    • Possible Shoal On Passage Under Ringling Bridge (Sarasota, St. M. 73.5)

      Here’s a new one on yours truly. A year or two ago, we have many posts here on the Cruisers’ Net about a shoal near the Ringling Bridge, courtesy of some leftover construction materials when the old span was removed. However, that trouble spot has been marked for some time now.
      Has anyone had the same experience as outlined by sailing vessel Endeavor below. If so, could you please send additional details to CruisingWriter@CruisersNet.net. Thanks in advance!

      Subject: Sarasota Ringling bridge shoals?
      Cruising News: we passed the Ringling bridge today at 0.3′ over MLLW and had the depth alarm go off (set at <6′) right underneath the main
      overspan a bit to the west of the middle. Maybe it was a dolphin or manatee, but it sure surprised me and I will stick to the middle next time.
      Any suggestions?
