[EXPIRED]Depths, Marinas and Lack of Pump-out on the Okeechobee Waterway (Feb. 2011)
Glad to hear that depths are still at least 6-feet on the Okeechobee, IF you do take the “Lake Route” (also known as the “#1 Route”)
We crossed from Stuart to Ft. Meyers between Feb. 13-15, 2011 via Route 1 on the Okeechobee in our Endeavour 44 Trawlercat. There is still over 6 ft of draft in the lake and its approaches. However, empty your black water tanks before you leave either coast. Yes we crossed on a weekend, but we could not find a single marina to do a pump out. Don’t believe the guide book. Indiantown has one, but will not do it on weekends. Roland Martin’s pump out has not worked in months, and there really are no true marinas in Moore Haven. Having said that, we found the city wharf in Moore Haven as a nice place to tie up for the night and very reasonable.
