[C320-list] New (to us) 320

[Robert Seastream]

Al:

I didn't.  GBM has four moorings at Hilton Park, which is on the 
downriver side of the bridge, so I took one.  Adding the three feet of 
antenna whip to the (rounding) 48' waterline to masthead yields 51', so 
I knew I'd only be able to 'scrape' under it at dead low tide, and I 
didn't want the tides to dictate my sailings.  Are you at GBM?
