GL: Fw: Thinking of chartering a loop boat

[Peter Norris]

David ---re insurance----make sure the insurance company knows your 
itenerary as close as you can estimate it

not sure what the restrictions are in the US but in CAN---my policy coveres 
me for the Great lakes and as far south as NY city and east to Que city

Iwas going to do the ICW----premium went up about $1000 and I had to be 
north of NC by June 20th or some date close to that--I dont recall exactly.
