Fort Myers

I took the last few months off from blogging. I think it’s time to capture what happened this winter. so back to our story…

We awoke anchored just inside the lock in the town of Moore Haven . It was early in the AM and there was fog. Quite beautiful on the still waters of Lake Okeechobee

Tied to the dolphins right next to shore it was still 20′ deep
Town of Moore Haven

Moore Haven has a picturesque stretch as you leave the lock and head toward the west coast of Florida.

Wide Load

Somebody is getting a new double wide!

Dilapidation

This home looks lived in. Maybe they were the ones who ordered the new double wide?

This home had a perfect back yard down to their dock.

You can see the on average 8′ drop in maintained height from Lake O to the Caloosahatchee River.
