For Great Lake Boaters

[GFC]

Several years ago before we got the boat we now own I had planned on spending a summer cruising the Great Lakes. With that thought in mind I put together an Excel spreadsheet that shows distances between ports on the lakes.

I did it using Google Earth, and the mileages I came up with might not exactly equal what your GPS shows because I included about a mile to go offshore when leaving a port and another mile coming back into your destination.

The cost? Free. Just send an email to me at gofirstclass@hotmail.com. I will reply to your email and attach the spreadsheet to it.

I had a lot of fun putting this thing together and I hope you have as much fun using it as I did assembling it.

Here is a US produced one as well- not sure if all the ports are in it distances between US Ports.pdf

Greetings,
Mr. Gm. Only covers US ports unfortunately. Lots of "stuff" to see on the north side of the lakes.

Mike, is the Trent Severn Waterway included or just the big lakes? North Channel?

FYI There is a TSW website that has an interactive cruise planning tool. You can enter lock #s & cruising speed and it returns run hrs to make that leg.
Are you cruising TSW in 2019?

I live at Lock 32 and travel it regularly. Just looking for handouts for others, thanks for the info.

Mostly it's the big lakes but does include a few places in the North Channel.

Pages 26-32 are Great Lakes.

Great publication.

Thanks BandB. I've used that, but more for playing around and "dream cruising" than to actually do any cruise planning.
