FYI: ATL (Andrews Truck Lines, Virgil Ontario). Owners returning from
the south do unstep the mast at Troy, restep them at Oswego and sail
Ontario to the Welland. Some continue on the raging Erie if under 12ft
air draft on the way west to bypass the Welland.

When we were in Montreal I saw few boats. I was informed they are all
over at Lake Champlain. We would have to go the wrong way up the Saint
Lawrence to get to the Great Lakes, I cannot fit under the bridges on
the Erie Canal. Your trip going to the Bahamas sounds like more the
right direction! I often wonder how our boat got to the East Coast.
Did C&C motor them down the Erie with the masts unstepped? Go all the
way out the long way via the Saint Lawrence? Trucks?

I lived in Montreal for a while and made the trip from there to the
Thousand Islands four times in a Tanzer 26 with a 9.9hp strapped to
the transom. The current is very strong in several places, up to 4 -
4.5 knots. A times I thought I was go I get backwards😜. I also went
out the St. Lawrence in 2014 on my way to the Bahamas. It’s easy to do
10 knots maybe more. Did 13.1 motor sailing with the current around
Tadoussac.

Next dumb question - assuming someone decides to lower Lake
Ontario a bit, how well does that lower the other lakes, if at all?
It seems like too much flow could flood Montreal. Last time I was
in Montreal the current headed east was pretty strong anyway, so I
assume this really could effect slow boats headed upstream.

The Moses-Saunders Power Dam ar Cornwall/Massena controls Lake
Ontario and the out flow down stream. There is a lot of
controversy over the IJC Plan 2014. The deciding factor is
controlling the spring flooding at Montreal and depths for
commercial traffic. I’ve really simplified it, it is
infinitely more complex.

This is maybe a really dumb question – is there a way to
drain them?
Does anything control the amount of water that heads out
to sea down the St. Lawrence Seaway, Erie Canal, and so on?
