We made a quick stop today at the world's smallest drawbridge. One of the pictures is of Don spanning the whole drawbridge section. The other picture Don has lifted or "raised" the drawbridge. It is a pretty neat design meant to allow sailboats with very simple masts to pass through the bridge. The boat would slide through underneath and the mast would fit right down the slot in the center of the bridge. We could not get through the bridge if we were to try because of the configuration of the spreaders and stays on Koinonia. Even if the mast configuration were such that we could try it would still be a touchy proposition getting a boat through here because of the small margin for error. It seems like the water would have to be near to still to keep the mast from banging around in the bridge slot.
