Day 73. Feb 28, 2017. Tuesday

Day 73. 2/28/17. Anchored off Amelia Island

We left St Augustine at 7:30am. We had current with us much of the day and made great time. We reached a place where they were doing work on a high bridge. There was a crane and other large equipment in the section under the bridge where boats are normally expected to pass. We were pretty sure we could not safely go through that section because of all the equipment. There was no indication of where one could safely go. We took a chance and went under in the section just to the right. It looked almost as high as the section we should have used. We held our breath and watched our mast which went under without touching the bridge. Probably had 3 ft to spare.
We had planned to tie up at a free dock but we reached it at
1 so decided to continue on. We got to Amelia Island about 3:30 and anchor there. Tomorrow we will finally leave FL and enter Georgia.
