GregL Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I'd say yes to epirb and approx half hour in nice conditions. Via google earth your looking at a 9nm run each way. So at 20kn half hour.... Just be careful that you travel threw the south side of the mouth, northern side is very decieving. Copped a nice green one into the boat one day punching threw the northern side. Before we got to point of no return it looked ok. Halfway through, the waves became super steep and had to drive the boat threw one. Great test for the boat but something I don't want to try again!
