Nov 24, Clewiston, FL

We moved 65 miles from Ft Myers through the Caloosahatchee River, through three more locks, into the rim canal of Lake Okeechobee to Roland Martin Marina in Clewiston.

Leaving Ft Myers and heading east on the Caloosahatchee River a railroad bridge remains open for us.

Private home and cluster of buildings. A beautiful 'fish camp'.

All glass 'greenhouse' done in the English style.
Wonder if they grow orchids?

Newer home with a great family room of glass
under that overhanging roof.

River boat at LaBelle.

Cypress trees as we enter the rim canal of Lake Okeechobee.

There is a lock at Clewiston between Lake Okeechobee and the town.
When closed, the lock prevents flooding in the event of a hurricane.
When open, it is the way into the Roland Martin Marina.

There is a new 'tiki' bar restaurant at Roland Martin's Marina that makes it very convenient to have a nice bite to eat without having to go into town. The 'tiki' bar even provides the bug spray to keep the mosquitoes under control.
