Considering taking the boat from St. Marks to Carrabelle. Any idea how long a trip this is by water @ 20 knots?
I was budgeting 3 hours.

A lot depends on the weather and boat size.

Google earth shows about 40 miles or so if ya stay off where you can run. Like everyone says, depends on the weather. 3 hours sounds like you are safe time wise.

We used to make the trip from Shields to the White Trash Bash on Dog Island in about 3hrs going about the same speed. You should be fine as long as the seas play along.
