This summer the River Rat was launched on the As Sable River in Michigan. We are now in Fort Myers FL, on our way to East coast of Florida through the Okeechobee waterway. Lake Okeechobee is the second largest fresh water lake in the US. The lake covers over 730 square miles and is connected to both of Florida's coasts via the man made Okeechobee Waterway. The Lake is 33 miles wide from north to south, and 30 miles wide from east to west. http://www.sailmiami.com/Okeechobee
