I'd have to go through the Woodrow Wilson Bridge first. Our mast is
58.5 feet. I'm not about to be mucking around in the Potomac at 3 am
just to go to a marina (and then have to come back down later) when I
can just drive to DC in about an hour.

Certainly, driving most anywhere is faster.

But I do not know your source on the WW bridge info.
It opened today at noon. The only times I have ever
experienced it have been daylight hours.

I understand your reasoning, regardless.
But since usenet is an archive of information
I wanted this specific issue corrected.
