Wow, that's a suggestion to get the mind racing. I just checked it out
though, it's 1735 miles, 89% more than the ambitious 916 I'm already
committed to. The canal will also involve our families a lot.

Screw the mileage, it would be a GREAT trip.

Leave 6/1 get to the Welland at Colbourne s/p in 2 weeks (includes weather
lay days)

That will give you enough time to do a little L Erie exploring.

After all, it's only 250 miles from one end of that bath tub to the other.

Based on 50 mile days, that gives you 9 days to screw around. (Trust me, you
will use every one of them)

2 days to get thru the canal and get organized.

Leave the "Falls" area by 7/15, arrive the Atlantic by 9/1.

Allow a couple of weeks down the Atlantic to home port.

That could be the trip of a lifetime.

I was brought up in northern Ohio about 13 miles from the lake
so it will be sort of like going home again.

Where?

What's a "student body"?

The group that attends a school, any school.
