Wow! Yeah, I had a severe pucker going. I wasn't sure which to be more alarmed by: the reading on my depth gauge or the sight of my masthead instruments nearing that light. I think we startled a few fishermen on shore with our cheer as we cleared the bridge.
On the return trip, I was doing the same rapid look up - look down - look up - look down routine as we went back under the bridge. One of my crew (and favorite cousin) thought he would be funny by making a "ping" sound by banging some metal things together just as we passed under the bridge. I almost had to clean out my shorts.
