GL: Cruising the Rideau

[Gregory Han]

We did it with 5' in 2007
We hit one ledge that was poorly marked and is well know by the locals
It is just before the  route 30 bridge over Rice Lake on the Trent Severn

I think the other place we touched was also on the TS

Be sure to dinghy up to Perth on the Rideau
The best town on the canals

There are lots of weedy places that look shallower but 5' was fine\
