Okeechobee Waterway, Florida
Well, it was bound to happen! We made it all the way from Maine to Florida without needing a tow then 5 miles from our final destination (before getting off the boat for a month...)we ran aground! We were smack dab in the middle of the proper channel but at dead low tide. Charted depths showed 5-6 feet but the sounder was reading 3.5! Stopped dead in our tracks!
Christmas Bazaar in Moore Haven's square right next to the town's docks.
The Grinch and is it Cindy Loo Hoo?
Catching Santa on the waterway in Moore Haven, FL. Maddie ran around the entire block chasing him down!
School work on the waterway, minus the shirts!
Swimming anyone???
They grow them big here on the Okeechobee!
Foggy morning on Lake Okeechobee. It took 5 hours to cross the lake. It is the second largest fresh water lake within the United States (second to Lake Michigan).
Tied up for the night in the waterway on two "Dolphins."
Dolphins are the posts bound together in a triangle, some have cleats...some don't!
One of the many "Locks" on the Okeechobee Waterway. This lockmaster was wasting no time in letting the water in.
One of the many Great Blue Herons along the way...this one was obviously a great fisherman...
