We are continuing across Florida, traveling from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean via the Okeechobee waterway. We are about 1/2 way across and around 12 miles from Clewiston where we will cross Lake Okeechobee.
We went through 2 locks today. The Ortona Lock, east of LaBelle, raises the boat 8 feet to equal the water on the other side.
This manatee went through the lock along with us.
When we left the lock, it swam alongside the boat.
This picture makes it look kinda like a gold fish cracker :)
We're surrounded!
The anchorage tonight has alligators all over.
I've always wanted to see a manatee - remember when i wrote my first grade report on Mantees???
