The Big O

Lake Okeechobee's name comes from the Indian name Oki (water) Chubi (Big). It is 451,000 acre lake! Geeze. The depth varies between 1 and 13 feet. It was the perfect place for me to take the helm and finally get the hang of the chart plotter! Finally, no more serpentine patterns.

We only saw a few passing boats and an occasional channel marker filled with birds.
