Ortona Lock

We both slept well. It was perfectly calm in the morning - not a ripple. But the humidity was 80% when we got up and the whole world seemed hot. We were underway by 8:05 AM.

We are pushing to get across Lake Okeechobee, so we decided to bypass the anchorage at Franklin Lock and make the extra 21 NM to Ortona lock, where we anchored in front of the closed lock at about 6 PM. We will be first thru the lock in the AM

It was an interesting weather day. This morning the relative humidity was about 80% - tonight is in the low 40s. The sky went thru several changes as we cruised south to the Caloosahatchee river and then East past Ft. Myers and inland. Looks like we have a weather window on Thursday so we will be pushing to get into and across the Lake tomorrow.

We ate dinner on the aft deck.
