We departed Stuart this morning at 6:15 and arrived in Ft Myers today around 3:45. We had a really nice crossing of Lake Okeechobee. The weather was great, we went through 5 locks, and we saw lots of wildlife. The boat ran flawlessly for the entire 1,526 mile journey. We ran off-shore for 5 of the 8 days of the trip. The weather, for the most part, cooperated for us and allowed us to cover as many miles as possible each day. Dave and I are both looking forward to getting home tomorrow. As you can tell, the posts are getting shorter each night. We are slam worn out. It was a great trip, but the long days have taken a toll. Here are a few pictures from today.
Hard to see in this picture, but we had a good bit of fog this morning. This is the St Lucie Lock.
