I’ve done that trip. But in a 37’ sport fisherman, not a 19’ center console.
I’ve done that trip in a 24 ft sport fisherman and two other boats as a caravan. Anything else is nuts.
Aren’t you the one that told me in an earlier post that people in S Fla routinely let their teenage kids do this kind of stuff? I don’t think so.
I’ll go as far to say that nobody in their right mind lets their kids go out on a boat un chaperoned in the ocean.
