The subject shoals are on the St. Pete side of the bridge, which
we assume to be mile marker 5 or some such.

Are you talking about taking the ICW south from St Pete or going under
the Sunshine Skyway out into the Gulf?

Are you starting from St Pete on Tampa Bay or from St Pete Beach on
the west side?


We're in Salt Creek Marina. We'll go under the skyway and head south.

We'll go outside. The fastest route there is my target. Generally speaking
, from my very limited experience, I want to avoid the ICW in my remaining
few - and any other, unlikely, subsequent, US sailing days (once we leave
FL, we don't expect to return to the US).

Thanks for the waypoints and headings, btw!
