was just a little salty after over 14o miles of exciting Gulf of Mexico sailing. So the first order of business was with the garden hose and a fresh water rinse down. After a couple of liberal doses of "Salt Away" the old girl really sparkled.Last night (Saturday) we spent the night at the Franklin Lock - a combination Army Corps of Engineers campground and boat dock - pictured to the left. We enjoyed visiting with some of the RV'rs from all over the Midwest and really enjoyed the full facilities and an overnight rate of $12.
We're now tied up to the town dock at Moore Haven Florida, a little town on the cross state Okeechobee Waterway. It's a nice quiet spot next to the town hall and library. Tomorrow is a short day (12 Miles) to Cleuiston which is close by to Lake Okeechobee. We cross on Tuesday in what is promised to be a rare southwest wind - terrific for a northeast course. We will take a few days getting to Stuart on the East coast of Fla and head for a brief stay in Vero Beach to rendezvous with folks we met during the trip down and during the winter in the Keys.
