    Tide board is WAY off. 6 of the fender boards were showing and the tide board marker of 65’ was completely out of the water. Our 63.5’ antenna scraped pretty hard all the way under. It was low tide at New River Inlet.

    Great anchorage. Quiet and calm. Good holding in mud. Good overnight spot for transiting the ICW.

    Bridge had just over 65’ clearance at a 4.5’ tide which was two feet from high tide. At 63.5’ air draft I likely wouldn’t have cleared at high tide.

    Spent a night while transiting north. Winds were out of the east at 20 but was calm otherwise. Held great in 9’ of water. Wakes from vessels on the ICW started around 6:30am.

    Board read above 64’. Our 63.5’ mast cleared the south span but antenna touched the north span.

    Board said it was over 64’ clearance. I’m 63.5’ and the VHF antenna scraped the bridge.

    63.5 mast and our antenna tickled the bridge 1.5 hours before low tide.

    Board read over 65’ at high tide. My 63.5’ mast cleared no problem.
