GL: Fall Canadian Trip

[Truelove39 at aol.com]

Hi there -
 
We can only comment on Champlain to N'folk. After September, the Champlain  
Canal locks are only open for 10 hours per day and fog will often prevent you  
from getting an early start. Assuming you'll go offshore from New York, you 
may  have to wait several days for weather, and again from C. May onward, 
whether  offshore or thru the Bays. We would allow at least 2 weeks for this portion 
and  more if you travel as slowly as we do - 7-7.5 knots. OTOH, if everything 
is  perfect and you go offshore from NY to N'folk, you could get from 
Burlington to  N'folk in a week with a faster boat.
 
Regards,

> We missed the spring updates on looping through Canada and need  advice, 
www's, tel. nos. regs.,  etc about leaving  from  Cleveland, SEPTEMBER 1  
through the Welland Canal , across Lake  Ontario, through Thousand Island, 
down St. Lawrence to Sorel and then south  through Richelieu River-Lake 
Champlain-Champlain Canal-Hudson to NYC and  then south via ICW to FL 
(Norfolk by Nov. 1)  Is this too late in the  season?
