We exited the rim canal at Clewiston and entered the long, exposed, and narrow channel leading out actross a shallow area known as rocky reef. Due to Spartan rain fall this winter the lake is at a record low level for this time of year. On average we were.o serving depths 1 to 2 feet less the charted values. The minimum depth we observed in the channel was 5 feet. Once again we are please to draw less than 4 feet.
Once clear of rocky reef we set a waypoint for Port Mayaca and let Otto take the helm. Unfortunately 12 knots of wind directly on our bow limited our options to mooring.
