Just to share a brief video of a trip across Florida in 1994 21ft Outrage with 250hp Yamaha four stroke

We left the mouth of the Caloosahatchee River at 11 am and made it to dinner at Martin's Marina in Clewiston for a late dinner taking our time to sightsee along the way. We left Clewiston after a late breakfast the next morning and leisurely made it to the other side by 3PM.
On the return trip we left at (AM and went straight through with a stop for lunch and fuel and made it home by 8PM.
I highly recommend this trip for a great look at "true Florida, unchanged.

Robert,
Thank you for sharing. I looked up the plot of "The Lions Paw" and think I'll find a copy (still a kid in heart). I remember reading "Treasure Island" and closing my eyes and imagining going back to the island for left behind treasure. Good for you and your trip.
