Moving Again and Again???
Another decision has been made that affects our big boat home.
The Florida Water Management Division and Corps of Engineers have many projects in the works that control the lakes, canals and rivers of our Florida waterways.
Lowering Lake Toho in the Kissimmee/St.Cloud area began some time ago in order to remove muck from the bottom of the lake. This infected muck was producing hydrilla and other deterrents to the health of the lake. Of course, this has already affected our water level at our boat home on the canal of Lake Kissimmee. Yet there are two other small lake areas north of us that still yields some water to our boat area.
Now it seems that there is a proposed plan to do the same kind of muck removal and water draw down on Lake Cypress, Lake Hatchineha and possibly Lake Kissimmee. This would leave us entirely high and dry on bottom and do unlimited damage to our big 32’ Carver boats and for God knows how long......
An intelligent....quick decision was made by Capts. Charlie and Dockie of the ‘Eagles Nest’ and the ‘Milagro’ . Get out of Dodge....quickly!
Back to dear ole Taylor Creek on Lake Okeechobee.....temporarily anyway...We already had plans in motion to bring our boats around to Bahia Beach Resort Marina on the Florida West Coast for the summer.
Charlie is in the middle of replacing one of the fuel tanks and has removed the floor of the bilge for much of the maintenance needed at this point.
Now his plans have been put on ‘fast-forward’.
Like this week-end......
Dockie is in theprocess of helping to transfer our brother, Aaron’s, new boat from Ft. Lauderdale to Daytona Beach and will be on the waterways much of this week-end. Charlie, too, was supposed to go.......but the Milagro’s needs came first.
Yes, I had other plans but life is getting in the way!
Being open to change is a must!
Being resistant to quick change can be painful......but necessary at this point in our life.....
......Fleetingly I hear the voice of my Mother from long ago saying in her dear southern way, ”You know.....EVERYTHING happens for the Best!”
Will let you know....See pictures on Link#1 Boating Album for boats involved in this transfer....Anchors Away.....Railroad Bridge and All!!!
