Paul and all- Did a little sleuthing using Google satellite. In the third picture you can see the JFK control tower behind one of the buildings. Looks like you were somewhere south of Atlantic Beach. If you put in the address:
1742 Seagirt Blvd New York New York 11691 and tap the street view you can see the 2 buildings on the right side of that third picture. This is some not very far west of Freeport, where we will departing for the in-shore pelagic next Saturday.
