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.

Thanks for the idea on google earth. I didn't even think about that.....and my charts and GPS are sitting on my boat in St Marks!

As far as boat size, its a pro line 251....250 engine

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.
