We left for the West Coast Wednesday morning, but not before one last party with some of our DeFever cruising friends. It has been fun and we all hate to see the rendezvous come to an end. Oh, wait, we don't have to let it end. Aurora, Tide Hiker, and Sea Pearl are going to catch up with us in a few days and we are all going to cruise the West Coast of Florida. (I said cruise, not bar hop)
Our trip up the St. Lucie River, across Lake Okeechobee, and then down the Caloosahatchee water way was absolutely fabulous. Most people don't realize that Lake Okeechobee is the second largest fresh water lake in the US. (it's a BIG lake) It also allows you to cut across the state by boat starting at Stuart on the East Coast and ending at Ft. Myers on the West Coast. We saw an amazing display of wild life and what Florida was like many years ago on our trip across. It was a beautiful 130 miles to where we will hold up here at the Franklin Lock State Park for a few days while everyone catches up to us.
I hope you enjoy all the pictures as much as we enjoyed our trip across.

Last party before we left on Wednesday at Tide Hiker's dock. Great party Norm and Vickie.

Everyone had a good time and no one fell in. (well, not that I know of)
