Hva denne videoen dekker
The crew of the 65.5-foot-mast sailboat Sunday navigates the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) while managing tight vertical clearances under fixed bridges. To ensure passage, the crew removes a corroded masthead antenna that previously struck a bridge.0:46 They monitor water levels using a flashing red beacon that indicates bridge clearance based on a zero-to-five scale, where zero represents the maximum height of 65 feet for the first bridge and 64 feet for the second.10:04 The crew times their transit to avoid southerly winds, which push water into the canals and raise levels, opting instead to pass during a period of low water.12:06 They use a drone to verify clearance during the transit, finding more space than the perspective from the helm suggests.13:55 After successfully clearing the two lowest bridges on the ICW, the vessel proceeds to Belhaven to seek shelter from an approaching storm.15:24 Proper timing of bridge transit relative to wind direction and water level gauges is essential for vessels with mast heights near the ICW limit.
