Oct 4 Stuart, FL to Port La Belle in the Okeechobee Waterway..(Port La Belle Motel and Marina)
So now we're in the Okeechobe waterway.... oh my i can recall when we first came through here how frightened i was of this large body of water....today is reportedly 'mildly choppy' due to the affects of the hurricane Joquain perhaps.. but we are now safe within the body of central florida and feel certain the hurricane's affects will not effect (ha) us.
From Stuart you travel through small canals that (through many locks) empties you into 'The Lake' - a huge body of water....then it goes back (through locks) to being a small canal...
along this small canal we found the Port La Belle Motel and Marina...50cents a foot!!!!!!! This wins the prize as being the least expensive of all stops along the way in a 6 month span. Thank you Port La Belle - you came in 25 cents less than a previous running marina… oh, well, i should add that we did not have any electric and no restaurant (even though it was listed in ‘the book’) but it was really a pretty spot….
