Any hazards that I should be concerned about? Thanks, jay ============================================== You'll be fine, just watch your charts carefully. The river is quite deep in most places once you get east of Cape Coral. Total distance is about 155 NM with 5 locks along the way. You could make it in 2 days if you push hard, 3 otherwise. Clewiston is a good place to overnight. http://www.saj.usace.army.mil/recreation/ |
