Today's crossing of Florida's big inland lake was a pretty tame motor job. The lake is infamous for a nasty chop given its shallow depth and large dimensions, but there was little wind today and the ride was 
smooth if a bit boring. Yesterday we went all of 12 miles from Moore Haven to a spot in the waterway just before entering the lake. We stayed free there tied off to dolphins provided by the Army Corps of Engineers to moor vessels waiting for lock passage. The ride down to this place from Moore Haven featured the best wildlife display of the entire trip. Yes those are alligators in the pictures and we say dozens of them in the 12 mile passage.

Tonight we are are at the Indian Town Marina. Tomorrow we will be anchored out in Manatee
Pocket and hopefully Carol will actually see a Manatee. We'll be back in Vero Beach on Thursday as I may have mentioned before. It is actually hot here and we put up our screen enclosure. Maybe it will be up all the way north to NC. One can only hope.

Hi, Carol & George - we've been thinking of you and hoping you're warm, dry, and continuing to have a great time. We had 5 days of 70's and 80's here, but now it's back in the 40's thru the weekend.
We miss you and can't wait to see you back here in New Bern.
Love,
Marty & Doug
