    This is a prime example of my taxes at work. Why spend millions to replace a low bridge with another low (+3 feet over existing) bridge. We and a slew of others waited 3 1/2 hours yesterday for an opening. At this time of year that left us no choice but to travel at night. This is no fun and downright dangerous.

    We pulled and found five boats already anchored. Depths are good but can go to nothing in a heartbeat. There was a SE wind around 12 kts and gusty. We tried a number of places to try and get our 40 pound delta anchor to set. Each time it would slowly drift. We finally gave up and moved up the ICW a few miles and spent the night. Don't know what the problem was as all of the other boats seemed fine.
