St. Pete to Moser Bridge Channel
The most direct course I can chart from St. Pete to Moser, trying to avoid
the thinnest water as much as possible, comes out at 227 nm, or 1 day 17 hours and 15 minutes or so. I have no local knowledge of the area, and The Cap'n is missing charts 11442 and 11420 (at least as I installed it -- thought I installed all of the charts for the Keys but perhaps not) so there's an area of unknown depth that my plotted course crosses. Does this more or less agree with the course Skip and Lydia were following, mileage-wise? Long trip in unhappy weather, and big seas for shallow areas. Depth averages about 1 1/2 fathoms, little more than 2 in the deeper areas. I plotted deliberately to avoid areas with a charted mll depth of 6 feet or less. -- Karin |

It's a long trip for a first hop and all approaches are relatively shallow. The route that I recommend has a minimum of 7 to 8 feet at low tide, usually a bit more. |
