Leroyr55 Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 For some reason cruise ships leaving port there seem to have at least one Coast Guard boat escorting them. I’ve seen this on the camera at the port and when we departed there. When watching departures in Miami I have not noticed the Coast Guard escorting them. Just a curious observation.

I’ve seen them at both PE and Miami. I would imagine it has to do with the recreational boating at both respective inlets. On the weekends it’s gridlock boating traffic. Whenever the cruise ships start moving the Broward Sheriff office boats stop traffic and the Coast + Pilot boat escort the ships out of the inlet to the outside marker.

tonyfsu21 Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 This is about as close as you can get with a recreational boat before the sheriff starts flashing lights at you. Texas Cruising and teddy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
