I wonder how deep the water is there for Marine 9 to get close,  Anyone know?

How long would it take M 9 to get there?  It can't cut across an an angle when it is west of Seagate, has to follow the channel down and then left  into the bay.

I would love to see pictures of M 9 going up the canal to Knapp and Y.

Not deep at all and I think they gave a 90 min eta for the marine unit when we were there. Units are still there as of 1630.

343 and FF II draw 9'. These boats do have smaller boats that they can launch.  The current Boston Whaler types probably draw no more that 18"
