I was thinking about the huge access to the local lake system and the one impediment that may be an issue. There is a bridge spanning the lake at Rideau Ferry... it used to be a ferry crossing way back when. From the top of the bridge it looks very high off the water but it ocurred to me to check the actual clearance yesterday.
26 feet.
Drat!
The mast on the sailboat is 26' 7" plus the distance from water surface to mast mounting.
So now I have to come up with a method of lowering the mast to clear the bridge or just trailer to the other side when I want to sail the Upper Rideau.
Having said that, putting in behind the house gives me access to the Lower Rideau which is still a few of miles of open lake to play in. That should be enough to get started I am sure.
