Report from Moore Haven Lock, Okeechobee Waterway Statute Mile 78
This report comes from our good friends and partners, Sara and Monty Lewis, of Explorer Charts. Search “Bahamas Chatter” from our Homepage for more on Explorer Charts.
The Moore Haven lock had only one gate open and it was a narrow squeeze for our 17’ wide catamaran. All locks require life jackets now for all persons aboard and they all supply lines to tie up. Some of them hang in the water and are a bit slimy. Good to have a wiper handy.

As for lock lines, we carried rubber utility gloves for line handlers. Easy to clean and very protective.
