I was there. I saw it from a high vantage point. It appeared to be more
than
500 - 800' or so.
It is the same every year.
Historically, vessel operators are pretty cooperative from my observations
of
being on the water during these events.
The CG, FD and others enforce limits when necessary.


Thank you. That's consistent with the estimate I made based on the number
of vertical cables and distance between them. 500 - 800' wide means they
were less than 500' from persons, vessels, and structure.


The 500' rule only applies to you Steve, and for good reason.
