Don't worry. I am certain that with enough speed you can make it under that bridge.

I’ll back under it and break the arch free. Hope the Hatt doesn’t hurt the bridge.

Got the arch down with no damage. Lots of work with a Fein tool and a big crane. Arch is on the fantail and secure. Will be casting off soon and hoping for more lock luck.

...if you had to pick one power tool to do everything, it would be a Fein multitool. They are amazing.

Only made it to Harborside Marina, thanks to the late start and a UGE delay at Dresden Lock. It’s windier than dammitt! So windy that a tow couldn’t get into the lock with his second set of barges. We had to dodge the first set entering the lock, then it was dodging him and the second set exiting the lock.

The trawler ahead of us obviously wasn’t prepared for the brutal wind and current while squeezing through that hole, and he damn near took out the port side of his boat. Speed is your friend in such situations, and I was expecting that near miss when I watched him enter the lock. He cleared by mere inches when his boat went sideways while leaving.

A couple of pics of the now archless/mastless Beenaghetto. I’ll share the story about that name later.

I bought the DeWalt equivalent and wasn’t impressed. Took it back after a few hours of cussing.

I have the Dremel version, works great. Much cheaper than a Feintool. It can make some amazing cuts. What else have they been keeping from me?

Harbor Freight cheapo helped me remove all of the rotten coring and other scuz from the foredeck so I could install coosa..

The dremel multitool my primary go to tools. With a carbide blade it will cut anything. Can’t be without one.
