Moore Haven

After photographing our morning visitor we untied the lines from Indian Town Marina at eight o'clock.  We saw no less than eleven alligators today, all in the water, unlike one yesterday was sunning itself on the bank.  We did not see a lot of sunshine except mostly crossing Lake Okeechobee.  There were grey skies in the morning prior to arriving at Port Mayaca Lock for a three foot lift before the lake, and it just stopped raining in time this afternoon to go through Moore Haven Lock for a two foot drop on the other side of the lake.  We passed "Godspeed" today on the lake, whom we met on the Tenn-Tom on the way down year before last.  It did not look like the same person at the helm however.  Just after Moore Haven Lock, we were the second boat to tie up at the city dock, the first being the boat we locked through Port Mayaca with this morning.  Four other boats pulled in for the night after our four o'clock arrival.
