You're all good, but watch the "boat passage" at wynnum north / fishermans, as the water there is very skinny in places.

Are you good with the bridge clearance?

Hi, yes no fly bridge or anything as in my sig pic. Someone else here with a similar bay cruiser suggested either side of top of the tide and stick close to the markers through that passage.

thanks

Yeah, I see there's no bridge, just be aware of aerials. the skinniest parts are where the old structure is alongside the beacons

Hey Razgo,
Before I went into the boat passage mate, I would be looking at the clearance heights of the rail and road bridges that cross the passage, like Blackened has suggested I also don't think you would have the clearance.
Yes there is enough depth to the water through the passage especially at high tide but that reduces your head clearance.
It would be difficult to manouvre your boat in such a small channel if you got there and found you won't fit underneath the bridges. It is not wide enough I would think to turn around, you would have to reverse a fair distance to get back out.
Is there any particular reason to take this short cut? I believe that going round between Mud and the river entrance would be a much better and safer option.

Cheers

If you have to save fuel or time then I would give it a go but if these things don't matter then just go the long way in my mind.
