Captiva to Clewiston

Meandering Joy left Captiva with sights set on arriving in Clewiston by nightfall.    Clewiston sits on the outskirts of Lake Okeechobee which boasts excellent fishing.  This city known as America's Sweetest Town (because of its relationship with the sugar industry) is 60 miles east of Fort Myers on the Gulf of Mexico and 60 miles West of Palm Beach on the Atlantic.

The guys made great time today and enjoyed going through several locks.  There are five locks along the canal. They went through three today, WP. Franklin, Ortona and Moore Haven.  Once they cross Lake Okeechobee there will be two more  St. Lucie and Port Mayaca before arriving in Stuart.  






Once in Clewiston, Meandering Joy docked at Roland Martin Marina.   Roland Martin's is home to the Original Big Bass Guide Service on Lake Okeechobee.  

Looks like they had a great day!
