Rio Vista laterals control near 7 ft on the New River south bank, with 80 ft canals and a 110 ft turning basin — an 80 ft motor yacht with the tower down, not a 150 ft Harbor Beach guest. Andrews Avenue sits about 21 ft closed; SE 3rd Avenue is about 16 ft closed before the cut, and both are drawbridges on a schedule. After a dry winter the back fingers go first. Captains who keep a winter boat here treat Sunday openings as part of the program, not as a courtesy from the city.
