Hi All,
Has anyone done a Wye island circumnavigation? Going to be in Wye river this weekend and it appears as though you can go all the way around Wye Island. Supposed to be a nice journey IF you can get under Wye Narrows Bridge. I have seen reports of 10 foot clearance and also 10'8" clearance.
Has anyone done this trip or tried going under the bridge? Any info on clearance and depths around the island would be great. Most of what I have seen is from articles about the area... nothing official. :smt100
As it stands I think I'm on the border of being able to clear. Per SR specs, I'm 9'5" to the top of the arch, plus 6" pedestal mount, and 9.25" Garmin dome. If it's 10'8 I may clear depending on the tide at the time we try. Otherwise I'm hosed.
Thanks
James
