You could return the favor - by passing on info about some of the places you go - and how it worked out... A lot of us have our stories about our local sites - and where we go... there are just so many choices!!!!
When and where to plan on sailing when you get home? :>
good luck!!!!!!!
I said I would, so I do gladly and thankfully

Long story. The trip going was fine, except for the last 30 km stretch. Google, which was otherwise fantastik, as much for its time estimates as for the exact location, sent me to the wrong lake.
It sent me along the Erie lake to Essex, to the Deerbrooke Marina that nobody knows of there, instead of the Sainte-Claire lake, at Belle River where tha marina actually is. I guess this is because the Deerbrooke Marina wasn't enough of a paying add....
The day after, I encountered problems of the nature of a «7 round to 5 pins» adapter for the pick-up to the trailer electrical cord.
A local VR dealer from Belle River made up one for me.
And finally, the marine notary from Montreal got mixed up in the wire transfer of the money, so instead of leaving à 10:30 AM, I left at 15:30.
Passed Toronto on the 401, at 7 :30 P.M. on the cruise control, at 92 km/hr, the legs crossed, in the third line (third of 9 (not a typing mistake)), a real pleasant piece of cake ride, all the way through. You talk about a highway. (See in Wikipedia: they say it is the largest and the busiest in the world. I believe so...) The sun was setting. Flowing in a sea of red lights while a sea of white lights was coming in, on the left side. That 401 is an engineering marvel. And Toronto is a bran new city. Something to see.
The rest was a piece of cake, except for the 40 (Metropolitan boulevard) the overhead three laanes highway crossing Montreal, which was a little too cramped and too fast for me. Quite stressful, but no incident whasoever.
The boat is now in a hole that was blown for it in the snowbank.
I would like to make a door of the same plexiglass or lexan as the windows. Anybody knows of the color «bronze 2404 ?» that I should look for?
Your help was a real factor in that succesful journey...Thank's everybody.
Mike
P.S The actual consumption increase from the rented 2009 GM Sierra alone going at 92 km/hr, to the ride back towing the boat at the same speed ,was +45 %. Could prove handy for those planning a long tow to Florida and a winter sail in the Bahamas.......
