I have heard that if you go up
the caloosahache river from Ft Myers you can get all the way to the
Atlantic. Not sure if that is true.
=========================

It is true; I live about 1,000 feet from the Caloosahatchee and can
speak with a great deal of certainty. It is technically known as the
Okeechobee Waterway, starting out with the Caloosahatchee River,
transitioning to canals, crossing Lake Okeechobee, followed by more
canals to St Lucie on the east coast. There are 5 locks along the
way, no permits or fees required.
