We are in Norfolk headed south on our way home to the west coast of Florida in Punta Gorda. We are in a new boat to us that draws 4.5'. My question is at what lake water level should I pass on the crossing and take the long way home via the keys?
Today the lake level gauge is above 14'. Meaning that the cross the lake channel is 8.3' deep. I know that at 12.5' they begin to restrict the lock openings. I watch the lake level at
USACE Jacksonville District
What I don't know is at what level is it not a good idea to try and cross with a 4.5' draft trawler?
Any advice from personal experience would be appreciated.
