We are trying to make some loose plans to meet family along the Rideau Canal
this year.

Perhaps some of you can help us and give a stab at when this might occur.

If we leave Atlantic City NJ in mid-late May and follow the Hudson up
through Lake Champlaign, when would you suppose it would reasonable that we
would be on the Rideau?

I know there are a lot of variables. I am looking for some sort of benchmark
by which we can create our own guess so our family members can block out
some vacation time to be with us.

Thanks

R.

We spent 26 days between Cape May, NJ and Ottawa and should have spent more
time.  We did not spend time in NYC.

P.S.  We had guests aboard several times on our trip around the loop.

We would tell our guests that we could meet them at a time OR at a place.
We would not commit to meet someone at a specific time at a specific place.

Our usual goal was to be within 100 or so miles for meeting our guests.
Trying to meet a schedule with a boat can be difficult and can be hazardous.
Weather or breakdowns can change a schedule.

We were pretty good at making connections, but our guests were told that it
was their responsibility to get to us as opposed to us going break neck
speed at 8 knots to get to them.  Options are harbor host, marina courtesy
car, taxi, bus, rental car or motel to make the connection.

Thanks Vance.
That's my approach. Skipping any touring of NYC. I graduated from
engineering school at Pratt Institute and was glad to get away from NYC.
