Looking at the map you would think you could cross it in any direction
with the normal assumption that it would be deeper in the middle.

That is not true of much of the water in SW Florida. Certainly not
true in the estuary bays. Where I go, the deep water is usually right
up against the mangroves and the middle is a sand bar.
In Lake O the other thing you have to check is what the current water
level is. A place you can go at the end of the summer after the rains
and before the SFWMD water releases will be a marsh in the spring. A
year or so ago there were vast stretches of the lake that were high
and dry.

I remember that on the news. Lake Lanier in GA was the same way. Boats
were lying in mud.
