prolly 25-30 miles by water im assuming.... my guess

15 miles 18 at most

Straight as a crow flies its 31 miles. Just wondering how far it's by boat.

As the crow flies its 30.5 miles and you probably need to add about 2 miles for the twists and turns.

:rotfl:

You musta used your Boga Grip for that measurement, too.

I know for sure that it is 19 miles to oyster bayou from cal point.

My 60lb Boga Grip so that's as accurate as I can get. ;) I did check it using my Navionics chart on my Android phone and it seems to be very accurate. :D I also stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night. :p

Lake is 12miles long.....from end of lake its one mile to jettiez....from turners to haymark is little over 2..
From Haymark to 210 is no more than a few miles more.

So all of that equals 30.5 miles..... Just like I said! :cool:

I was gonna say that you musta used navionics cause that's what I came up with was 30.5.

Using Google Earth it is 32.15 miles from the Jetties to the 210 bridge including the turns. :p

From what I hear its to far to run a 16x42 flat with a 25hp Tohatsu there and back on one tank of gas, so I gotta know why you askin:smokin:

Well, apparently you and Paul are wrong. :rolleyes:

Stan, you trying to tell me I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night? Shame on you! :mad:

They were flipped by a crew boat. Idiots is all I can say

Did they save anything beside them and the boat?

I seen idiots go out days like today to the weirs in a 15ft flat.....for 5 redfish

W disagrees with Google Earth and Navionics, so, they can't possibly be right.

:shaking:

Who was flipped?

Only thing saved was my fish measuring stick. They lost everything including a seat.

Against me telling him not to go today flatbutt went fishing at the 2-10 bridge. He and his idiot friend ended up at the jetties in a 1648 flat bottom boat with a tohotsu 25. Long story short a crew boat flipped them they lost everything in the boat. They didn't have a dry working phone to call for help. They were cut up by as they called it "corol" and afraid of sharks getting them. They walked 3 miles to a dollar store for dry clothes and they had to pack the gas tank too. Needless to say my sister is fuming. They lost everything.

Ok I know what you are trying to type , but why did u add the word EAR to the middle of it? Lm ao

Just measured w/ Google maps, the distance is 27 miles by ship channel

Take out "ear" and it's still wrong. Why did he even try to type it at all is the question. :)

I am not an expert.....but shouldn't the crew boat be held responsible for their wave flipping the boat?

Do they know what boat caused this accident? Any witnesses.....probably not if they had to do some walking to get dry clothes. Did they call the Coast Guard to report the accident?

I am glad they got out of this "OK".

At least they lived to tell thier tale, sounds like this could have ended up allot worse...

I won't comment on why they decided to do what they did, but damn !!! :shaking:

I am in a smaller rig now and some days you just need to stay home, drink some beers and throw a steak on the pit ...


Fastmerc, to answer your original question, I would run a similar rig back in High School (15' Monark with 25 Mariner) from Bayou Black (Terrebonne Parish) to Willow/Myrtle Bayou and occasionally out to Halters Island on a 6 gallon tank with a smaller 1.5 gallon "reserve" tank on board... It was a 50-60 min ride to our camp @ around 3/4 throttle, which was probably around 20-25 mph... 210 to the jetties and back is probably do-able on a nice day with 6 gallons, if you keep your foot out of the throttle....

Well I would not want to go in front of a Judge if I was in that boat that flipped..

Kind of what the Judge would say:

Son you was where on what day???? I was told the winds were 15-20mph and you ran from Lake Charles to the Cameron with one take of gas in a 15ft Flat Aluminum boat. And do you know that when the winds are blowing 20mph from one direction and the tide comes from the other that will cause huge ripping waves and chop in the channel?
In the case of the run a way bandits..... I only have words of wisdom to give you

YOUR AN IDIOT who went against all odds to conquer nothing. You got what you asked for and your lucky no one was hurt in the process

NEXT CASE

I could be wrong but I think homeowners insurance covers you if it was just a 25 hp motor. Might get something back:)

I'd sue W for telling em to go to the jetties after all them reds

They were looking for Joes Cove:confused:.... somthin about huge specks in there

As bad as I hate to I agree with you.

Wrong, only for boaters liability but not personal property until deductible is satisfied.
