Hello all, new poster but long time reader.
I'm looking for advice on marinas and points of interest for my trip from St. Ignace MI heading south on the east shore of Michigan, through Detroit into Lake Erie, through the Welland Canal into Lake Ontario, then taking the NYS canal system from Oswego to the Hudson river.
A little information that may help:
Planning to start on Friday 7/23 with my first reservation at Presque Isle State Harbor for a few nights
We have the rest of the summer to make the voyage
New to me 60 ft. Viking - cruise 10 - 20 knots
Can do 60 - 120 miles per day
My experience on this boat is limited
Family of 5 + small dog
Wife with limited boating experience + 3 teenage boys
21' - 6" air draft (could be a few ft. less w/ dome removal)
5' - 0" water draft
I have a captain available if needed to assist with the Welland Canal transit, although I just read that the Canadian border may be open to Americans in early August, but not counting on it
Eventual destination is NC area in Sept - October, then to Florida for few months
Shout out to Peter (Pau Hana) Novamar Insurance
Strongly recommend!
Thank you Peter!
Any Advice is much appreciated!
