As some of you know, over the summer of 2016, we did a fairly
ambitious cruise on our Grand Banks 49 trawler that took us from
Florida to the New York City area; northward on the Hudson River and
Erie Canal to Lake Ontario; northeast on the St Lawrence River and St
Lawrence Seaway; past Montreal and Quebec City; around the eastern tip
of the Canadian Maritime Provinces; south to Prince Edward Island and
Nova Scotia; And eventually back to New York, to close the so called
"Down East Loop".

Here are some links to a very nice series of YouTube videos produced
and narrated by Tony Flemming aboard his personal boat that duplicates
our own cruise:

The videos brought back a lot of memories for me, hope you enjoy.





Nice. Don't think I was ever experienced enough to attempt that route.
I do remember some of the spots in Florida, the Carolinas, especially
the Dismal Swamp in NC, and the busy waterways in Norfolk.

I think you have to be able to spell *Fleming* to cruise in a Fleming
Yacht.
