We’ll be heading from Palm Coast Florida to Fort Myers the day after Christmas across Okeechobee, for the first time. I’m looking at the rim route (#2) as an alternative to the lake crossing (route 1) if it blows hard from anywhere out of the east or south. I see the shallow stretch south of Port Mayaca can be avoided by running just offshore and coming back in at Pahokee. The rest of route looks deep and protected from any winds without an N in them. Any perils along the way, or experiences I should know about please advise. Thanks.
