Sorry for the delay. I will try and get everyone caught up on the last few days. We have been running pretty hard and have been slam worn out by the time we get in, so not really in the mood to write up the blog. But as we are traveling through the no wake zone south of New Smyrna Beach and Gail is at the wheel, I thought I would try and get caught up.
So on Monday, February 8th we ran from Ft Myers across Lake Okeechobee; a trip of about 130 miles. This was the first nice weather day we had since picking up the boat. It was sunny and the wind was not howling for a change. We got a early start around 7:30 and had no problem at all in any of the locks. My Mom and Dad decided to take a ride in the car from Stuart up to Clewiston to see us go by on the waterway. So we got to see them a few times along the way. After Clewiston, we ran across the Lake and they drove over to the Port Mayaca Lock and saw us again and we came out of the lock.
We tied up at Sunset Bay Marina in Stuart that afternoon around 3:45pm. We took on some fuel and then settled into our slip. Mom & Dad came by to tour the boat and visit for a little bit before they took us to dinner. We had a really nice Italian meal with their friends Betty & Karl Hank. Karl is also my God Father. After another long day, we were ready to turn in after dinner.
