This has a lot more to do with SFWMD and the army corps draining down
the lake than the drought. You didn't really hear much about it but my
son in law (water manager for SFWMD) told me they almost lost the
Hoover dike during Wilma and the order went out to drain down the
lake.
Any idea when Lake O might make it back up to navigable (for me)
depths of 5.5 to 6 ft?
Right now I have to detour over 200 NM through the Keys to the east
coast.
Awwww. Well, you could always rent a flatbed rail car.
I know a Dr. in town who has his 36' boat trailered across to Ft.
Lauderdale when he wants to make a trip to the Bahamas because it saves
him time and fuel.
Sounds like a smart move to me. Getting there is not the kind of boating I
enjoy. Being there is.
I'd burn about 200 gallons of fuel each way just to get to the East Coast.
But more importantly, I'd waste two full days just travelling between Naples
and Ft. Lauderdale and back. If I take my boat to the Bahamas, I'm
definitely looking into getting someone to trailer it over to Lauderdale,
and leaving from there. Time is my most valuable commodity right now.
