Heading west - bridge story

[CurrentSea]

So we will be heading to channel club with a bunch of bridge boats. What's the story on bridges? Probably hit jones inlet but need to go under Wantagh pkwy. I then hear there is a bridge in Shrewsberry river?
Any input?
Thanks.

There are 2 bridges in the river. The first is not a problem (61 foot clearance at high tide). The second is a draw bridge. It opens on request during the week and on weekends, it opens on the hour and half hour. Enjoy.

Waiting for the 2nd bridge, called Seabright Bridge, can be a "fun" time depending on which way the current is flowing and how fast. It can really rip through there. Don't bunch up and leave plenty of space and you'll be fine.

The Sloop Channel is the closest to going straight out the inlet. There is 17' clearance at high tide.
Large bridge boats may need to go north to the Goose Creek bridge. The clearance there is 24'.

Have a safe trip.
