Default BlueJacket 2008 Cruising Plans: Down East Circle Route

This year we're headed NORTH with BlueJacket and will do what's known as
the Down East Cirle Route. This will take us through the Hudson River &
Erie/Oswego Canals to Lake Erie. Then we'll take the St. Lawrence to the
Canadian Maritimes where we'll explore Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland
and Nova Scotia. We'll head back down the coast and probably end up in RI.

Many more details, including maps, can be found at

Great plan Geoff. We've done some parts of that trip - Hudson River,
Erie/Oswego Canals, Lake Ontario, St Lawrence River as far as Sorrel
NE of Montreal. Just last night I was sketching out the distances for
the entire loop because I often think of making the same trip that you
envision. Unlikely for us this year but perhaps in 2009. Fog is a
*very* big issue as you get down east. My family did a summer road
trip around the Gaspe when I was a kid and visibility was rarely more
than a few hundred yards.
