35 miles to Big Chute locks 42&43

Another beautiful route, we stayed at Big Chute Marina 1 705-756-2641.  This is a wonderful spot to stop and watch the Big Chute Marine Railway in action.  it is right next to the rail, they have power and there is also a restaurant here at the marina that has very good comfort food.  I’ll add a video of the marine railway in action on my next post.

These unlucky cruisers missed the channel completely and ramped a few dozen rocks, always know where you are so this doesn’t happen to you

4th generation Florida Panhandle native, my passions are my family and care and maintnance on my diesel engines (land and sea) because they give me the ability to travel in comfort all over this beautiful land. being kind to everyone you come in contact with is the best thing to do because we are all on the same wild journey through life and kindness makes the ride that much better. and everyone could use a helping hand along the way. including me! ask questions and learn! this is what life is all about.
