Clewiston, FL; February 23, 2011

Link to Clewiston dolphin pilings

We tied up for the night between two dolphin's.
 It was quite a trick to get tied off since the cleats were high up.
        Dolphin's are several pilings lashed together.
 They were originally set to secure barges end to end.
You tie off the bow and stern to keep the boat out of the channel.




We had a short 12 miles to Clewiston today. The canal was surprisingly deep between 10 and 18 feet. Alligators seemed to line the banks and at times we saw them every 25 - 50 feet.
