Day #14: At dawn we're treated to a rare sight, the Port Mayaca Lock with both it's gates wide open. The level of Lake Okeechobee is the same as the canal that brought us here. The lock master clears us straight through then coyly adds "But you can tie up if you need the practice." How'd he know? It only took one lock to get us from the Atlantic up to Lake Okeechobee but it'll take three locks to get us down to the Gulf of Mexico.
Safely moored between the dolphins on the northeast side of the Franklin Lock. 71nm today and 357nm so far. DBH.
