Bimini vs. Bridge: The Bridge wins!!!
« on: May 09, 2012, 03:39:10 PM »
Another rocket surgeon out of KMB this afternoon found out the hard way what low clearance means. Could have been worse. He made it under with minimal damage. Hope he is at least able to put a catch together.

Stay thirsty my friends.

Whatever happened to the talk of raising that antenna breaker?  Read about it a bunch times in the local rags and seems like the idea just faded away?

Its better to sit in a boat and think about God, than to sit in a church and think about fishing.

I don't always remove my bimini, but when I do..I prefer smashing it into a bridge   rofla

I watched somebody remove their radar dome the easy way last year.  I would personally have tried a wrench or a pair of pliers first, but smashing it into the bridge certainly works as well.   5hrug

About 7 or 8 years ago. When I was back in on my way to Wagner's with one of my boat partners who was at the wheel.

"Hey Joel." " Do you think we got the bridge?" "Yea, no problem" "I don't know"

CRUNCH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lucky we didn't get hurt and a little electrical tape and a the services of a horse blanket sewer saved us for the remaining use of that vessel. thud

Yeah, I did that too last year.  Had it cleared and completely forgot about the anchor light.  That one was actually welded to my arch, so I relaced it with one that I could put down on my own.
