"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you did not do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour, catch the tradewinds in your sails.
Explore,.....Dream,.......Discover."

Mark Twain

How to travel south to the Caribbean from lake Ontario

A lot of our friends ask us....How do you get to the Caribbean from Lake Ontario? Most have never really thought about it, not like us who have dreamt about almost every night.



First, you sail to Oswego, NY, where you enter the New York State Canal.



There are 7 Locks in this section plus Lake Onieda which must be crossed before reaching the Hudson River at Albany, Ny.



But first you just take your time sailing slowly down the canal enjoying the scenery.




Travelling down the Hudson brings you to New York City, where it is possible to anchor in a bay behind the statue of Liberty.

At Norfolk, Va. you enter the Intercoastal Waterway then travel to Florida, where you cross the Gulf Stream to reach the Bahamas.
