Indiantown

Rim route with wind on the nose.
Entered St. Lucie canal waterway after route 2 or the rim route passage of Lake Okeechobee. Saw lowest depth near Port Mayaca of 4.1 ft. Army Corps of Engineers publishes a detailed sounding survey on their website (conducted in 2009) of the complete Clewiston-Port Mayaca rim and lake route. They don't recommend any vessel with over 4.65' draft to attempt the rim route with the current lake level of 13.25 feet.



Very bumpy entering lee-shore lock with SE 20+ knots rain squalls.Thank goodness it was open so no lockthru required. We are now tied up at Indiantown marina. Continuous rain now....over 2.5" inches have falled today.
Boat ramp unrepaired from hurricanes years ago.

Levy maintenance underway.
Leaving Port Mayaca.
Broken and derelict boat along the lake shoreline.
Tied up at Indiantown marina.
