Just a brief word. Measure your air draft yourself.
Don't take anybody's word for it.
When you measure it make sure you are holding the smart end of the tape, not the dumb end.

My PO told me about 22’ or 23’ The bridge offered 22’ 6”

LED anchor lights are expensive :-)

Remember as you measure...
Your load, full water, fuel and stores, temperature of the Fresh or salt
water...

Not cruisin' in Canada, I hadn't thought of this until today, but in those
parts I've been told that they use metric. So if going to Canada or other
so inclined countries, might want to have your air draft configured for
meters, maybe even centimeters.

Don't believe what a bridge tender (or anyone else) tells you - measure
it yourself. It's easy enough to do.

We once had a bridge tender in Daytona tell us our air draft was 19 feet
as we were going through the opening (she didn't want to open the bridge
for us) when in fact we're 22ft 6in (we call it 23 ft)!
