Raise the bridge.....!!

While repairs to the Bridge of Lions in St. Augustine continue, the schooner sails under the temporary lift bridge as traffic waits.

"And hurry!!"

Is the schooner under motor as well? Would hate to have to steer under sail alone in a narrow channel.

I love the sight of a schooner under sail. Nice pic, thanks for sharing

Would like to see more of the sail boat, but I don't see how that would have been possible. Nice capture.

Is it the St. Augustine in Florida?
I have been there. I may have seen the bridge. Long before it went under repair, though, since it was back in 1995.

Thanks....It's possible since it came out the other side of the bridge.

Yes, in Florida....trust you enjoyed your visit. There was an issue concerning the demolishing of the Lions bridge, but more sensible heads prevailed.
