My 28' sailboat is now in Stuart, Fl after transiting the Okechobee
waterway but I want to get to Bimini and then to the Berry Is. so I
need to get to Miami. However, I am now very tired of the ICW so I
would like to sail down the coast on the outside from Stuart to
Miami. If I stay within 5 miles of land, will I have any problems
with the Gulf Stream pushing me N.?



Wouldn't the charts point this out?

He would need real-time information. That wasn't a chart, BTW.



Duh, no kidding!




So why did you suggest that a chart would point out real-time data?


Duh! I didn't.



He was looking for real-time data and you posted a historical snapshot and
called it a chart. Duh!

You related to Looney?
Well, you're from Floriduh...close enough.
I didn't call the address I posted...a "chart". That was simply an addition
to give Froggy an idea how close the Gulf Stream comes to the Atlantic coast
of Florida.
