Quote from the Center for Land Interpretation:

Seven miles long and 540 feet wide, the Cape Cod Canal is one of the widest sea-level canals in the world.

So half way is 270' or 90 yards. Of course there are other factors such as stage of the tide, where you are standing , etc.
I still don't believe that anyone is casting 200 yards.

No boat, back in the suds.
