They’re almost home!
We were up and away early again today. We went through the Moore Haven lock
(we stayed right outside it last night) first thing. We saw an alligator!! It was swimming around right outside
the entrance to the lock. Kate, of
course, was a bit freaked, but I was cool and collected. No Problem!! Of course, no one had a camera ready --- duh!!

We had a very smooth ride to the Lake. We were really all alone all the way to
the Lake and across. We met a
Coast Guard boat as we got to Port Mayaca and a tug as we came out of the
lock. Port Mayaca was open and we
really didn’t have to lock through.
We saw a lot of fish jumping after we left the
St. Lucie Lock. No idea what kind
or why they were doing it. Really
strange.

A total of 3 locks today, but --- no more locks
for at least 3 months!!! And
then? Well, who knows? There are none in the Bahamas!!
