2/14 - 2/21/23 - Ft. Myers to Ft. Pierce (Called an Audible - Crossing Okeechobee)
CHANGE IN THE GAME PLAN : We have had a month-long reservation (2/24 - 3/24) at Marathon Marina for quite a while, but several factors contributed to scrapping the Keys and crossing Lake Okeechobee to the east coast of FL: This is our 6th year cruising the Great Loop. Our idea of getting a head start by segment Looping while we were still working, backfired when we decided to buy a more livable cruiser in 2021. Because we found the Mainship in Port Washington, WI (40 miles north of where we began the Loop in 2017 (Racine, WI), we've spent 2022/2023 repeating our course/segments. Sooooo, as much as we loved Marathon when we stayed there March 2021, we decided to focus on gaining miles instead of repeating them. In lieu of the Keys, we are considering doing the St. John's River. We're feeling the repercussions of missing family events, and while we aren't rushing the trip, we want to move it along. Fuel prices are also a contributing factor. Tues, 2/14/23 - Happy Valen...
