USS Lexington

In Corpus Christi for a couple days, how close can I get to the Lexington on a ski?

Re: USS Lexington

500 yards unless they post a greater restriction. They would be extra strict for PWC's because they can move relatively fast and maneuver quickly.

Coast Guard Stresses The Importance of Vessel Exclusion Zones To Boaters

The distance a boat may approach a Navy ship has changed in the last couple of years. In light of the recent terrorist activities in London and the heightened Maritime Security Level (MARSEC) for the Washington State Ferries, all boaters are encouraged to be particularly conscious of the Coast Guard Security Zones around military vessels and the Washington State Ferries.
All boaters are advised to remain outside the Naval Vessel Protection Zone, both while the ships are underway and moored. Any vessel that must pass within 500 yards of a U.S. Navy ship must operate at minimum speed and contact the U.S. Coast Guard or Navy vessel to request permission to navigate within 500 yards of the vessel. No vessel may approach within 100 yards of a U.S. Navy ship.
Local law enforcement personnel, the U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Navy will enforce the Naval Vessel Protection Zone while the fleet is in Seattle. Under no circumstances should boaters cross into the 500-yard restricted area around U.S. Navy ships. Any boaters entering the restricted area will face a very rapid response. At a minimum, vessel owners can expect to be boarded by authorities and directed to leave the restricted area. Vessel owners found in violation of Naval Vessel Protection Zones could face criminal and civil penalties including a felony conviction, impounding of their boat, up to six years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Re: USS Lexington

Are you sure that goes for the Lex? It is a floating museum. I'm pretty sure boats are all around that thing all the time.
