“One of the most complete boating guides to the eastern waterways I have ever seen. . . . a top-notch, well-conceived and wonderfully produced book . . . This one’s a winner!”
—Great Lakes Cruiser
No serious boater planning a cruise in the area would want to be without Cruising Guide to New York Waterways and Lake Champlain, written in the same format as Pelican's other famous cruising guides.
This firsthand account covers everything from more than 1,000 miles of popular waterways (including Lake Champlain, the Hudson River, the Erie Canal, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario) to less-traveled waters. The Thousand Islands are also explored. The author’s personal knowledge perfectly complements the data on the NOAA charts that he suggests for each area. Among the many useful topics covered are
- Current navigational data
|
- Shoreside dining and other attractions
|
|
- Dozens of invaluable maps
|
- Anchorage locales photos, and tables
|
- Detailed marina evaluations
|
- Intriguing historical profiles
