Long Hot Day

15 June 2010 | Swan Point Marina NC
It was a long & very hot day on the water so we pulled into Swan Point Marina where we stayed last year & called it a day. We were not sure how high Close knit is off the water, so we waited for ever to get through the first 20' bridge. At the second bridge we just missed the opening so waited. We then get a call from the bridge master telling us to come on through as he figured we would get under the bridge without him having to open it. The bridge is 20 ft, so we slowly made our way up while the bridge master stood on the railing by the bridge, & we passed under with a little room to spare. He calculated us at 16ft so now we know we do not have to wait for any other 20ft bridges. The last bridge we powered to get to it on time, only to discover there was a multicar accident on it so the bridge would not open. This one is only 12' so we dropped the hook & waited. we actually didn't have to wait that long, but after getting through we decided to call it a day
