Getting to the Water

There is a highway bridge just blocks from the house that is 15 ft 8 inches.  After that it's just utility lines.  The pilot house as well as the forward and aft bulwarks will have to be attached after we are on the other side of that bridge.  The mast will have to wait until we are at the Port of Catoosa; www.tulsaport.com.  Then it's just 440 miles and 420 feet in elevation through 18 locks to the Mississippi and then another 600 miles to New Orleans and open water.  The closest call we will have is the I-430 bridge in Arkansas which has it's clearance listed at 53 ft when the water is at it minimal level. Lucky for us, the top of our mast is 52 1/2 ft from the water.
