Thank you Ed. I thought "Oh My Gosh" the boat would get stuck for sure.
I told my husband it was only six feet deep.
However, others said they've never spotted boats out on the lake at all......
The Villages is definitely in a nice safe BUBBLE and beautiful within, however, we did notice when we drove OUT OF IT.......that it's quite different out there.
For someone else (not you) who mentioned not paying attention, or putting too much stock into to anything I would read in the Orlando Sentinel, the exact reason I do read it every morning, is to get a feel for what is happening in Florida as a whole.
I believe in knowing what is going on........and also to get a feel for the surroundings and natural environment "around" and "outside" The Villages, Florida.
Get back to the lakes, I did send for the "Chain of Lakes" series of interconnecting canals and depths of those lakes..........we did see them. Too bad we missed Lake Weir; never even knew it was up there.
In the good old days we would have had a big Florida paper map.
