Lizbeth, not that far out from Pensacola... looking at the scale at the bottom of the closure map appears to be between 40 to 50 miles. St. George is a great deal further out. Appears to be about 100 miles to the closest southwest point, and about 200 miles to the south, though I'm sure the closures will change as time passes.

my two weeks at Ft. Pickens are looking grim..

it is about 137 NM from the cut to the corner sitting due south of SGI

KYFRED's right. Entered the GPS numbers in google map and he's spot on. Also checked Pensacola from Ft. Pickens and that fell a bit closer too, being right at 30 miles.

if it would just stay out 30 miles, and not come inshore.

I didn't plan on paddling out that far anyway.
