Day 8 Week Dos

)(What a way to start our morning - a hundred tarpon swimming and rolling around the boat. Didn't get going right away since a thick fog moved in for a hour or two.  So Jack found a comfy spot nestled in the life jackets. I guess he's not going down with the ship. When it lifted, we went through the first lock of the waterway. John took it in and I took it out. Teamwork! A huge manatee got trapped in the lock with us and he was the first one out. After the second lock, a couple alligators crossed our path. The Caloosahatchee River or Waterway is phenomenal. Huge estates to shanties, cow farms to orange groves. I could take a thousand pictures. I would love to explore the shoreline.  Hardly any boats- so quiet and peaceful. It was calm enough that Jack spent the day on the bridge as co-pilot.  I want to live here. Take note - how many times will I say that before this trip is done?! We docked early at the moorHaven City Docks. Only a couple other boats here- one from Long Island. Of course, I asked if they knew where Kevin was from!  Heading out to see what kind of action there is in this sleepy, little village. ( note - Just found out from Sprint, they have no towers here in MoorHaven. I'm actually not shocked, so this blog is being published on Sunday morning. Unbelievably enough, there's reception on the Okeechobee in the middle of nowhere. What does THAT say about MoorHaven?!)
