I believe not any further than 8 miles , sometimes closer
WEAK LOW PRESSURE IN THE AREA WILL CONTINUE TO BRING UNSETTLED WEATHER TO THE AREA FOR MOST OF THE WEEK. SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.
.GULF STREAM HAZARDS...NONE.
THE APPROXIMATE LOCATION OF THE WEST WALL OF THE GULF STREAM AS OF JUL 25, 2015 AT 1200 UTC...
18 NAUTICAL MILES NORTHEAST OF FOWEY ROCKS. 21 NAUTICAL MILES SOUTHEAST OF PORT EVERGLADES. 10 NAUTICAL MILES SOUTHEAST OF LAKE WORTH. 9 NAUTICAL MILES EAST OF JUPITER INLET.

This news has me saddened and terrified! First, I simply cannot imagine floating miles away from shore in the ocean. Forgive my ignorance, but aren't there things out there that eat things much larger than me? Praying for a good outcome, but also praying for the strength of the family....

It's been 4 days 3 nights without water,the same amount of time the sailors on the Indianapolis spent in the water before their rescue.
The boat most likely swamped and flipped within site of land and the boys decided to make a swim for it.
With a 2 knot surface current blowing from the west their ability to swim to the east towards the shore is absolutely futile.

This is a scanner based out of Jacksonville. It plays radio transmissions between Navy (JAX) and USCG. A DSC was chatted about 5 minutes ago off South Carolina.
DSC is a digital selective calling- a distress call from a VHF radio. This could be related to the lost kids or it could be something else going on in the area. The dispatch was requesting ID and/or coordinates from anyone that heard the DSC in that area.
