No problem, the Okeechobee waterway provided an alternative route. Mast height limitations on fixed bridges is 55 ft. The hunter 30 has a mast height of 50ft 6ins (+ all the expensive bits owners bolt on the top). All good.... except the Port Mayaca Railroad Bridge, vertical clearance is 49ft.
Time to call Billy Owens (tel:561 262 5200), the mast tipper. That's him and his buddy, along with 2,400 lbs of water ballast and a nervous owner (I was driving).
All in all a fun activity. Nice overnight sail from Stuart, Fl. to Miami. Job done.

Looks like we'll have to call Billy to get our 47' mast under the 45' Shands Bridge on the St Johns River next week!
