We’re stuck in the marina waiting for the water level to drop below 12′ so our mast will pass safely under the Socastee Bridge.

It could be a while, if historical data is any guide. On any given day, there is less than a one in three chance that the bridge will be passable. Once the water rises above 12′, it typically takes a month or more for the waters to fall back below 12′. The good news is that we are close to the line and it has been a month since the bridge was passable. The bad news is that it’s raining.

The red box represents water levels that are too high for Bonaventure.
