jsaddiction, has the safety zone been expanded to be larger than stated below?
Here are some boating rules for viewing the Blues show this weekend:
Boating:<UL><LI>The Pensacola Beach Gulf Pier will close from 11:30 a.m.?3 p.m. <LI>Boats in the Gulf of Mexico are not allowed to enter a safety box of a half-mile South, 1.5 miles west and 1.75 miles east of the Coast Guard cutter. If the referred area is not cleared, the performances will not take place due to security measures. (
This equates to aradius of not more than 1.75 miles east-west. They don't say how far out the cutter will be so the southern most point is based on where the cutter is located.)<LI>The entire area from approximately Deer Point in Gulf Breeze to east of Quietwater should be treated as a ?No Wake-Idle Speed Only? area. <LI>The northern 60 feet of the Quietwater pier will be a ?no mooring? area. This allows a place for boaters to load and unload passengers, and provides emergency personnel a spot for waterside patients to be brought ashore. <LI>Inlet to Little Sabine will be outbound only beginning 2:30 p.m. <LI>There will be several Boating Under the Influence checkpoints. </LI>[/list]
