The Verrazano Narrows Bridge links Brooklyn (left) to Staten Island (right).

Note that the Captain isn’t taking any chances – he aims for dead-center of the bridge!

Getting closer – and getting the attention of the guests on deck!

You are sure this ship fits under, right?

Those steel girders look pretty serious…

Looks like we’ll make it under, but I wonder what that guy in the 18-wheel truck thinks??

Looks like our mast only has a few feet of clearance, but the ship was designed to have 13 feet of clearance even at high tide.

Almost close enough to jump and grab hold.

We made it!

Wait – forgot about the smokestack – but it looks like it barely clears the bridge too.

You can just about hear everyone holding their breath.

Yeah, we made it!

Having cleared the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, Andrea is happy to be heading to the Caribbean.
