September 19-20 Crossing Florida Okeechobee Waterway- Clewiston

Since we have been to the Keys many times, we took the short route home

The Okechobee Waterway.
This means 5 more locks. I think we know the drill by now.We had been looking forward to revisiting Rialto Harbor Docks. Each dockage has its own individual garden area.After checking in at the office we took off to tour the 12 acre estate.

A quick dip in the heated pool

and we were off to see the horses.

the grass is always greener.

for my abstract inspiration files

The owners of the marina/yacht brokerage raise carriage horses

and chickens

We continued along the rim route of Lake Okeechobee rather than going directly through the center. I guess the view is better or could it be the 15 mph winds?
We passed a few more interisting sights along the way

When we arrived in Clewiston at Roland Martin Marina the wildlife appeared.

below the dock is the head of an alligator that was swimming in the evening sun
But as every good photographer knows, turn around and there is a better picture waiting.

I am glad to say these were all taken from the bridge of Kids Again.
