About like sailing in a toilet bowl of diarrhea IMO very shallow so when the wind blows it's very choppy and muddy

Google Green Cove Springs Marina for some info and a satellite view. The area gets a hurricane every 40 years- 1964 and 2004- and the marina has all of the qualities you describe. I only moored there briefly, simply because of my personal preferences, but I'd recommend it to anyone.

It's been a few years, but we sailed from Clewiston to Port Mayaca. It's a pretty big lake and we did fine close hauled.

I recall the water is shallow in places and the water level is dependent on rainfall, so you might want to check for local knowledge on the water level. That goes for the waterway, as well.

Back then the fixed height clearance at the Indiantown RR bridge was a concern. I remember it was 49' and our mast height was supposed to be 46', not counting the stuff on top. We didn't have a problem, but the Indiantown marina had a tilt and tow service for those boats whose mast isn't quite short enough to pass.
