On the ICW

Left Clewiston at the crack of noon (actually about 11:15) and took the three hour cruise across Lake Okeechobee.  At only 6 to 9 feet deep it can get pretty nasty in windy conditions, but that wasn't the case and in the middle there was hardly a ripple on the water.  In fact it was so calm, we put Tranquility on auto pilot and proceeded to install the new stereo, which is sounding great right now.  We left the lake at Port Mayoca, passed through 2 more lockson the St Lucie Canal and then the St Lucie river where we anchored at mile marker 13, 13 miles from the ICW.  Today was 60 miles to Wabasso, Fl on the ICW just north of Vero Beach where we are anchored.  We made one stop along the way for ice and bait, which Tom has already given up on, so we'll just relax a bit as the sun goes down.
