Roland Martin's Marina
Clewiston, FL.
Happy New Year.
Another great day yesterday. Out of the slip at 8AM, and stopped at the next marina for fuel. ($1.24/gal) By 9:00 we were heading due east across the State of Florida. The weather was perfect. Sunny, and 80 degrees.
We had three locks to go through before we made it to Lake Okeechobee. These were no problem at all. We got right in every one. Once we made the Lake, we went about 13 miles south along the rim and stopped at Clewiston.
They had a New Years Eve party on the dock where we tied up. Well actually not on the dock, but right next to it at their Tiki Bar. It was a beautiful night 65 degrees, and a clear sky. The party was a lot of fun, and Carl, Deb, and I made it to midnight. I'm moving a little slow today, because I didn't get my sleep. Carl should be hurtin!
Today we head for North Palm Beach, and the last day we need to rush. After today, things will go a little slower, as we make the last few miles toward Ft. Lauderdale. Today's trip will be about 80 miles, and the weather should be warm (82) and sunny.
Well Steve, and Carl are up now, and Carl says he fells fine. The sun is just starting to come over the horizon. I'm going to try to get up to the Marina, and send this off.
I hope you have a great New Year.
BK.
