The Rochester Yacht Club gave us two free nights as they are a reciprocating Club with ours.
First class Club with great facilities.
Greetings,
Indeed, the 1000 islands is a beautiful area but IMO most, if not all loopers miss the best part. The Rideau Canal. I think Mr. Alormaria did it a number of years ago and he may wish to chime in .
Greetings,
Mr. BB. "Draft is the biggest challenge of the Rideau." Indeed, but 5' and 21' (air draft) should not limit too many vessels. I understand this past season was exceptionally low and not at all normal.
I would guess it is more probable that the extra time necessary to transit the system and either return the same way to Kingston or go through to Montreal and then up the St. Lawrence, through the 1000 islands and back to Kingston is much more a limiting factor than the depth.
Next year the canals in Canada might be rather crazy as they are going to to free so I would think there will be a lot of inexperienced boaters out there.
