Never fly along the shoreline of a river used by large ships.
600' towers live there. What towers are these? Are you referring to the masts? (Even the original Queen Mary is only three hundred and something) Or are you referring to the supports for wires and bridges to cross the river high enough to let the ship pass?

Jose,
In the northern reaches of San Francisco Bay there are rivers flowing in from the the interior of California. Ships go all the way to Sacrameto and Stockton. Power lines cross these waterways. On either side of the rivers there are much higher than normal power lines (200') needed to hold the power lines above the ships sailing up/down river. They vary in height lbut in excess of 600' is not unusual. These power lines love to eat low flying aircraft. Therefore flying close along the shorlines or even along the river can be relatively dangerous. gene Whitt "Jose" wrote in message . ..
