[alberg30] Height of Alberg 30

[George Dinwiddie]

Just for completeness, I'd guess that the mast base is about
5 feet (or a little less) above the waterline, giving the
43 foot minimum clearance mentioned earlier.  

Everyone should note that this clearance is only for bridges, NOT
POWER LINES.  High-tension lines can arc an amazing distance.

If you add 4 meters (~13 feet) you get a minimum clearance of 
56 feet for power lines.
