My wife and I have talked about doing that and going onward for the Great Loop, but probably a few more years out. We are undecided about making our boat a powerboat or just buying a powerboat. The Montreal way avoids unrigging the boat but is obviously a lot longer.

Joe, Just idle speculation but it's about 400 mi one way from New York Harbor to Kingston via the Hudson River/Erie & Oswego Canals and crossing Lake Ontario, so add the 300 mi or so one way from the Chesapeake to NYC you are talking over a 1,200 mi round trip, but you don't have to go past Montreal. I've done trips on the Hudson and Canals a few times (by powerboat), it's beautiful but kind of slow with the locks and of course on a sailboat the 15' overhead limit requires unstepping the mast before Albany. So while I'd be interested in a Kingston rendezvous, I think car is my preferred travel mode (not having the fly option....) Neil Gallagher Weatherly, 35-1 Glen Cove, NY
