GL: Maximum draft

[Michael Stontz]

Greetings.

I'm new on this list and am planning a partial great loop trip next year,
hopefully on the Erie Canal.  I have ordered some of the guides and hoping
this list can help me get started in the mean time.
First, on the boat will be me and my 3 children, 2 adult men and a teenage
girl.  We have a sailboat, a ketch, with a seven foot draft.  I see the NY
canal web site says draft is 12 feet or 14 feet, but I wonder if there are
shoals that would stop us.  If, say the Erie canal is shoaled, is there
another deeper route possible?  I suppose I have a lot more questions, but
first need to know if the boat can do it.
