      More on Proposed Lake Okeechobee Dry Season Depths

      Experienced cruiser and frequent Cruisers Net contributor, Greg Allard, comments on a recent movement to keep Lake Okeechobee’s dry season depths at 10.5ft, two feet lower than official low water for navigation. See USACE Requests Input for more on this issue and an opportunity to submit comments.

       
      Here is a link to a news report of a discussion between the State of Florida and the federal government about reducing the level of Lake Okeechobee.
      Today (Feb. 1, 2019), the level of Route #1 is 6.61’, and the “Stage” level is 12.67’, which is the height above sea level.  The proposed change would reduce the lake level by 2’, which as an example based on today’s data, would make the depth of Route #1 to be 4.61’. It is unknown whether this will be enacted, but any cruisers considering crossing Florida on the Okeechobee Waterway should pay close attention to any changes.Greg Allard

      “Flying” Water Taxi

      Bimini Crossing Buddies Sought

      Good afternoon I’m interested in some information regarding any flotillas that you organize for a Bimini crossing from the east coast of Florida. Is that something that you typically do how would I get information regarding any flotillas scheduled for June or July 2019?

      Okeechobee Route 2 Now Open to Sailing Vessels at Torry Island Bridge Statute Mile 60


       View In Chartview

      This low hanging cable at Torry Island Bridge on Lake Okeechobee Route 2 has restricted navigation to vessels with less than 35ft air draft. See UPDATE: Low Cable from 11/26/18. Our thanks to Office Erica Skolte for this good news for sailing vessels.

      Good news- Route 2 is open for navigation for sail boats. I expect that I will have an additional notice to navigation in the next day or so.
