Making Progress

Captain Ken and Crew, Becky, and Travis Fickett made good progress as they made their way from east to west crossing the state of Florida on the Okeechobee Waterway! They cruised non-stop leaving  Green Cove Springs FL Thursday evening and in the picture below they are crossing Lake Okeechobee on Saturday. They anchored out Saturday night just east of the Ortona Lock and Dam.

As I post this it's Sunday afternoon and Ken and Crew are safe and secure. Quiet Company is tied to the dock at the Sweetwater Landing Marina in For Myers FL. The first leg of the trip has been a success!

QC is docked in the position shown (in between the biggest boat and the shore) giving QC some protection from the passing boat wakes. My friend Dan who lives close will keep an eye on QC for us for a few days.

Now it's time to start dialing in the next leg of the trip home.........
