Re: GL: Charts on the Erie

We have the guides, but since there are no charts
on the western half, our
plan is to use Google Earth Pro (have it on my work
computer already). It has
an option where it will take in a GPS signal and
plot your posistion on the
aerial (the free version doesn't allow for the GPS
connection).  Not a chart,
but better than a map on a broucher.

Snip:
Be sure you have the most recent.  "CRUISING THE NEW YORK
CANAL SYSTEM"  by
Skipper Bob  and  RICHARDSONS CRUISING GUIDE HUDSON RIVER
AND ADJACENT
WATERWAYS, prior to starting up the Hudson river if possible. You
will need
to
lower your mast at either Troy or Albany NY at the latest.
Skipper Bob ninth
edition (2006) suggests Riverview Marina  518 943 5311 on
the Catskill River
41 mi south of Troy or the  Castleton Boat Club 16.6 mi
south of Troy  518
732
7077 (do it yourself, crane use fee $50.00 in 06). NOAA
and Richardson charts
only go as far as Lyons, if you are going farther west
than Lyons you will
need  THE CRUISING GUIDE TO THE NEW YOAK CANAL SYSTEM
hopefully avaiable in
Waterford.
