Clearing Sky's but change of plans again

Just finished calling a lock on the Okeechobee Waterway.  Ugh the lake levels so not support the rim route and across is just 1 ft deeper than our draft.  Sooooo it is back to Marco Island then the 80 miles to Marathon in the Keys.

The plan now is to gunkhole at Shark River near Cape Sable and cross Florida Bay in the daylight.  Lots of crab traps to watch out for but also because this route is in open water we need to wait for the wind and seas to subside.
