It looks like I am starting my last year of full time employment and will be going part time in a year which means we can go sailing. One of the trips on my list is to return to the west coast of FL where we trailer sailed for many years (Punta Gorda area). Was wondering if anyone has taken a Catalina 310 across the Lake O waterway? I recently measured the mast height to waterline and came up with 46 feet and if you add another foot for the antennas it is 47 ft. This was while not loaded for cruising. There is a bridge with 49 ft clearance and it would sure be great if I am not the first to attempt this in a Cat 310... I know about the barrel guy who can lean you over but he requires advance notice and $200! Has anyone made this trip in a 310? Thanks...
