Anybody here ever crossed Lake Okechobee? *If I arrive at Clewiston

I've crossed the Big O and traveled over a lot of it, in search of the
Holy Largemouth Bass. There are shallows, there are bars, there are
grassy areas. There's not much to see on the lake itself, unless you are
a fisherman. Are you planning to find a berth at Roland Martin's marina
in Clewiston? It's a nice place to stop.

Yeah, sure, I'll bet old Harry will now try to tell everybody that
he's spent much more time on the O than me.....snerk.
If you'd spent any time on it, you'd know that there's a cleared
channel right through it.

It all depends on timing and when I get there.

Roland Martin's Marina in Clewiston is a traditional half way stop on
the way across. *It's a fun place at night but bring bug spray. You'll
feel right at home there with the old Florida atmosphere.

Alternatively there are some free town docks in Moore Haven.

I would strongly recommend not crossing the lake at night.

Wives always complicate things. *My wife who will be visiting her mom
in Fort Lauderdale now wants to join us for part of the trip across
the state.

OK Wayne, why NOT cross the lake at night? Just curious.
