This morning at dawn we left Glades RV Resort & Marina on the Caloosahatchee.  We locked through the Moore Haven Lock and entered Lake Okeechobee -- the largest lake in Florida.  In the early afternoon the sky darkened and we could see thunderheads along the southern coast of the lake.  We only experienced a smattering of rain.

On the eastern side of Lake Okeechobee is the Mayaca Lock which today, was wide open for us to cruise right through.  The water level of the lake and the St. Lucie Canal on the other side of the lock were the same height.  I must say this was the easiest lock we've ever been through.

We arrived at today's destination, Indiantown Marina in Indiantown, FL.  This is a large, well maintained marina tucked in off the St. Lucie Canal.  We traveled 61 miles today.

Here are a few of today's photos:
