Ron, Last summer we did the Waterford to Erie, Oswego, thousand Islands, Rideau, Ottawa River from Ottawa, Montreal, St. Laurent, Sorel Richileau, Champlain and back to Waterford. While you only asked for the small loops, thought maybe others might want the other timing. Our timing from Florida around and back to Waterford was as follows: Florida departure April 1st Chesapeake May 1st Waterford June 1st Kingston July 1st Montreal August 1st Waterford September 1st We intend to do Waterford to Erie, Oswego, Trenton, Georgian Bay, North Channel, top of Michigan and down, Chicago, Tennessee River, Knoxville, back to Tombigbee, Mobile, SW Florida this year. While we have no schedule and trying to stick to it we do have guidelines with approximate timing as follows: Florida departure March 15 to April 1st Chesapeake April 15 Waterford May 15 Trent-Severn July 1th Depart Georgian Bay August 1st Depart North Channel September 1st Chicago Mid-September Knoxville mid-October Mobile November sometime SW Florida by the New Year.
