Be sure to let us know when you run Matanzas and Nassau Sound Inlets in
NE Florida


Why would I want to do that when I already have 3 safe, deep water
inlets in NE Florida? Real men and real boats run offshore past most
of NE Florida.

Small boats with limited range, low transoms, inexperienced operators
and dubious sea keeping ability run for cover where ever they can find
it. Florida east coast USCG recommends 24 ft as the minimum for
offshore fishing based on their capsize statistics. That jibes with
my experience.
