Just returned from a week, Goodland to Flamingo and back. Its a good trip. Most of the shoreline has retreated several hundred feet and its deeper than charted. Shark river is plenty deep enough, pretty much as charted. Oyster bay seems to be as charted, plenty of water for a 3 ft draft. I inquired in Flamingo about doing Whitewater Bay to Shark River. Everybody I talked to seem to think that was no problem. Note: the canal to Whitewater is closed at Flamingo, boat ramp on either side, but you can't go through. Plenty of water getting into Lake Ingram from the north, did not proceed far into the lake because the SE wind was screaming. Lots of crocodiles on Cape Romano. Be careful with the tidal range in the 10,000 islands. Its more than you think and wind affects it a lot. I goofed once and ended up high and dry at low tide.
