Bob McCleran reminded me that the I 195 bridge at mile 1087 on the Atlantic
Coast ICW is only 56 feet clearance.  (This is between Miami and Ft.
Lauderdale--we came into Miami and went out the main channel to come back into
the ICW at Ft. Lauderdale.  Although I have gone under these bridges in
powerboats, we did take the sail boat outside much of the lower East Coast of
Florida because of the long delays in bridge openings.)

The Cape May Canal is not part of the Atlantic ICW which must be used--and we
went around Cape May into Delaware Bay, so no bridge problems there.
