RedactedNarrative: V1 Esprit De Corps 32 ft sailing vessel was headed southbound under the Vilano Bridge and the mast struck the underside of the bridge causing damage to it.
  On Monday, 8-23-2021, the 32-ft sailing vessel Esprit De Corps, which was operated by OP1 was returning to Camachee Cove Marina after a day of sailing offshore of St. Augustine. Also on the boat was PAX 1.
  At approximately 1445 hrs, the vessel entered the entrance channel for the marina. According to OP1, due to the strong falling tide with fast current, he failed to maintain control of the sailboat and ran aground just north of the entrance. OP1 was able to get the vessel off the mud bar, turned around, and headed back out into the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) to await a favorable change in the tide.
  OP1 stated that while waiting for two small fishing boats to clear the center of the channel at the nearby Vilano Bridge, his vessel drifted toward the bridge much faster than he anticipated. When he turned to navigate through the bridge he realized he wasn’t at the center span. Subsequently, the top of his mast hit the underside of the bridge breaking an antenna. The impact caused damage to the spreaders and rigging as well.
