Zachary,

Are you referring to the Savannah Harbor Light in # 14?

Yes

Zachary these are some hard questions! I first thought by reading the heading "I should do well on this one" but after reading them, I'm stumped.

But here are a few guesses.

#3 Pensacola

#8 Dog Island

#9 Crooked River / Carrabelle

#10 Sanibel

#12 Cape San Blas

None of those are correct
#3, 8, & 9, were/are in Louisiana
#10 is in Mississippi
#12 is in Florida but it's not Cape San Blas
