The New River east reach is where depth still looks like a yacht river and air draft does not. About eight feet on the stem, SE 3rd at sixteen closed, then forks: Rio Vista at seven feet and Andrews at twenty-one, Victoria Park collapsing to four and a half. This is one URL because captains describe the reach as a single gauntlet.
