A favor.

Looking for info from someone who has a chart of Miami
area.

What is the depth at 12 mile line.

Approximately 1200 ft (200 fathoms).

How far off the coast are you at 60 foot dept.

About 2 1/2 miles.




Little different here. 1.5 miles off Moss Landing is about
5000' depth (833 fathoms).




Thanks all

Every place is different.

When I was running subs out of Charleston it took us 6 hours to
get to water deep enough to submerge.

At Guam you could submerge at the pier and the land sloped down
at 45degrees to really deep depths.

But here in Texas you go miles and miles with little depth
change. The whole Laguna Madre area is only 8 feet deep. Land on
shore slopes at 1 foot per mile. So for here it is not
surprising that it is only 45 feet at the territorial limit.
