The Okeechobee Waterway? I think that is the name..

What size sailboats can make the trip? Is the mast a problem?

Any limit?

What about water depth?



Never did it but those who were about to said the height limit was 45 feet
and depth 4 feet. There are many references published on this route.

With a clearance height of only 45', and a depth of only 4' .. that
eliminates many
sailboats, for sure.

In fact, I was just looking at a boat on the net, nice older boat. .. the
draft is 5' 10" I think.

So,, if the boat can't go through .. ?? then it is down and around?

How does that trip go? Where is the cut through point?
