There was one lock to do as we started off the day. It was nothing like the locks Jason and I did with Dad in New York... we only went down (or was it up?) two feet! There was a huge group of us heading south, and the lock was full.
Shortly after the lock, we had to wait over 45 minutes for this barge to pass under the bridge. It went on and on and on... I have never seen such a thing. There were at least 5 tugs, other than the one pulling the whole parade, helping to keep everything in line.
The banks were beautiful... lots of cypress and pines. The water through this part of the ICW was brown... very different than the blue water that I saw on every other leg that I have done.
These three big guys looked a little scary looming over our stern.
Crazy skiier in 60 degree weather... a little chilly, I would think!
Sometimes we would catch a glimpse of civilization,
but then we would turn a corner and be wowed by the feeling we were far away from everyone and everything.
