  Operator #1 stated to the effect, I was heading south hurrying to the bridge opening and saw 66 ft clearance and thought I had enough room. Since I was hurrying, I didn’t have enough time to stop and was about 4 ft high of the bridge clearance and hit the bridge”.
  
  Investigation Revealed:
  Vessel #1 was traveling south in the Barnegat Bay, Toms River Twp, approaching the State Highway 37 Tunney and Mathis Bridges. The Mathis Bridge was opened for Vessel #1 to transit through, Vessel #1 did not have the height clearance for the Tunney Bridge that does not open, subsequently striking the bridge with the vessel’s mast. The mast bar gave way and snapped. Operator #1 was able to secure the mast and safely transit to Ocean Beach Marine Center in the Cedar Creek. No injuries were reported.
