GL: Ideas for cruising the NE inland US and Canada

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

How much air clearance do you need, Bob?
I believe fixed bridges on the western Erie
allow a maximum of 15.5 feet to pass.

Have you cruised Cayuga and Seneca lakes
from Seneca Falls (wife's home town)?

Over the next couple of summers, Judy and I anticipate heading north
again and spending one summer in Canadian waters. We'll approach via the
Hudson River, but from there we're trying to figure out how to cruise
all of the waterways, and end up back in the US for the winter and
heading west for the next summer on the Great Lakes (including Superior).

The question is, what is the best route to avoid duplication whenever
possible and still see:

Lake Champlain, Montreal, Ottawa, the Rideau Canal, the Trent-Severn,
Georgian Bay, the North Channel, and the Erie Canal west of the Oswego
Canal (we've already done the eastern portion from Waterford to Seneca
Falls, but wouldn't mind doing any part of that portion again)? We also
would like to cruise Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, and then on around the
other Great Lakes either as part of the Canadian cruise or the following
summer.

Once we've cruised the northern waterways, we want to leave the boat for
the winter months (October through late April?) on the hard, ready to
continue westward.

Any suggestions about how to manage this?
