Monday 8/29/15
A Beautiful morning at the Ft Myers Yacht Basin. A little bit of adjusting to new bed an AC unit that sounds like a window unit.
Tying up loose ends here, papers and a parting gift of 3 new fire extinguishers from Capt Nick the broker. Fill water, empty holding tank and in a challenging east wind maneuverd out of marina.
Departing from Mile Marker 135 on the Okechobee Waterway we passed under numerous bridges, and had a swing bridge open for us that had been struck by lightening earlier today. Bridge tender told us th ey watched lightening dance accross the metal bridge.
Saw a bald eagle just chillin on someone's lawn and lots of tropical birds. We passed through 2 locks, first was WP Franklin lock with a 1' rise at MM 121 and Ortena Lock for an 8' rise at MM 93.
We are anchored in a creek around MM80, but generator would not stay running, Capt and I changed fuel filter and started back up but within a couple minutes began overheating so no AC tonight.
