There is a drain pipe that sticks down a few inches below the bridge beams at dead center of the bridge. I tickled it hard with my whip antenna, otherwise my whip did not touch any of the rest of the bridge bottom. I need 62'8" for my wind indicators to clear, but the whip antenna I think adds about 18" to my height.
Tide board read 64'0" on North Side and 63'2" on the South.

New signage this year, "5 hours max per 24 hours" local informed us that she has only heard of it being enforced at floating dock. Did not test it due to wind wave conditions.
