Well, I made it to buffalo today at 12:30 pm. 180nm from brewerton and burned only 330gallons of diesel, no dock fees since brewerton either and...
If I don’t make port Huron in one day, there are plenty of stops before it on the Detroit river, so I’m not worried about it too much. Will just...
Spoke to them and they’re hoping to get through tomorrow as lock 7 is broken. We made Lockport and stopped early at 3:30pm as we’re exhausted but...
Also figure out your cruising area because the difference of places you can get into with a 100’ hatteras or 112’ Westport, you may not be able to...
This. Bennettis are simply an azimut on steroids with the same build quality and same issues as azimut. You need a crew of 6 minimum on that...
A 68’ searay. A 50’ azimut was going north and we pretty much were on all of the same stops. They’re took the Oswego route and are now waiting for...

I have checked with the canal system, and shortest bridge is 15’6 right now. I’m at 15’3 just by taking the masthead down. I might take the...
Yes, the dimmers you have leak a little voltage and with incandescent it’s not enough to light them, but since leds used 1/8th of the voltage it’s...
Or giving it even more throttle. The Donzi classics would chine walk from 45-60mph, but get them over 60 and they’d straighten out.
im taking a 68’ yacht to Chicago right now, and have done the Oswego canal several times, but have never gone to buffalo on the Erie Canal. This...
