Elliot's Winter Estate to Stuart, FL

Ken and Sharon's place is near Okeechobee, FL, a part of the lake not frequented by cruisers or Loopers. The Taylor Creek lock was so short Cat O' Mine barely fit between the red lines. You have to maneuver up pull the cord, even though the lockmaster is watching you out the window. No phone or radio. We had a sloppy ride to the Mayaca Lock at the west end of Lake O, then two more locks and three 'automatic' 7 foot RR bridges. One was down and stayed down for 30 minutes after we arrived before it finally opened vertically at a majestic rate. More rural scenery down the St Lucie Canal to the bustle and crowds of Stuart.

NeboLink report here; we try to stay over 20 MPH since no C-Dory wants a track that's not white.
