I just purchased a 30' sailboat in Stuart FL and plan to sail it to
Panama City, FL. The Okeechobee Waterway's low
water level at this time doesn't allow for my 5'
draft so I'm forced to consider a trip around the south coast of
Florida via the Keys.
My question is, has anyone made this trip that could provide information that could prevent having to go as far as
Key West to
head NW toward my
destination. Checking the
charts has unbelieveable low depths west
of the keys highway all the way to the end.
