From PC it's about a 60 mile ride. More or less SW. I've got a 25 feet boat with a 350 V8 straight inboard and I won't do it. Too far, too much fuel and at about 16 knots/hour, I'd need to leave yesterday to get there this morning.

Small boats (mine included), need to pick their day carefully. That's a long ride in sporty seas.

Alternatively, one could trailer a boat to Pensacola. It's a much shorter ride that way. But it's still a ways south of the Oriskany.
