Hi Bob,
If we paddle out to the extreme South end of Breakers 60 foot reef, we get
about an hour.  But if we paddle out from the Lake Worth pier ( public
beach) and go straight out, we are at the south end of Horseshoe, which is
THE best reef we have for freediving, and the current is slower this far
south---we can stay over it for 2 hours easily, ending up on Pauls Reef.
Then, you do a surface rest, floating in the Gulfstream current for about
30minutes, eating and drinking water---and about this time you are near the
beginning of the Breakers Reef system. After another hour on Breakers, you
paddle in to the Breakers Resort, check out the 20 to 30 foot reef, and then
go south about 400 yards to one of the access points to the public beach.
Here someone needs to have a cell phone in a dry bag, and have someone get a
few of us back to our cars. This is a drift of what---10 miles?
Regards,
Dan
