Planning our Summer/ early Fall travels from Kingston, Canada to NYC. Looking for advice on time needed for traversing the following at a leisurely pace. I typically use 2X the travel days to account for weather, stopping to "smell the roses" etc. Our three years of cruising 13,000 miles supports this approximation but with locks, etc a little "local knowledge" is appreciated.
Here is our rough plan:
Rideau Canal, Kingston to Ottawa- July 24 to Aug 9 (16 DAYS)
Ottawa to Sorel- Aug 9 to August 26 (17 DAYS)
Sorel to Waterford- August 26 to Sept 30 (35 DAYS)
Waterford to NYC-Sept 30 to Oct 14 (14 DAYS)
For those who have done this trip (I realize many have done it in the opposite direction) how do these elapsed times compare to your log? Are we pushing too fast to enjoy the sights or have we built in adequate time?
After NYC we will continue down the east coast to Florida and the Bahamas for the winter at a more accelerated pace (been up and down the coast so we will be more of a delivery mode to get to warm weather!)
Thanks for the input.
