5.0 out of 5 stars Great "Cruising Guide" at a great price

We purchased this book to help guide us through the Erie Canal, Champlain Barge Canal, and Lake Champlain this summer on our houseboat. Although the State of New York has a wonderful guide to canals, this book provides more details such as where to watch for undercurrents, suggestions to avoid currents while waiting for a lock, etc. Since we haven't taken the trip yet, we can only hope it is accurate and as helpful as it seems it will be.

The guide is very good but the information is old, like the phone numbers are obsolete. I figured since it is a newer edition it had been updated a little. It was not. Still, it is a nice guide.

I am planning a trip to New York City from Lake Champlain next Summer. This book is very good reading written by the man who did it all first hand. It's great to read ahead of time and bring it on the trip for great safety information.

Very well done. I highly recommend this book.

Purchased this thinking it was a guide with a similar title but was wrong. Was accurately described by seller but this was my mistake. The information in here is extremely outdated. Interesting read but dont depend on it for accurate information.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful on my trip up Champlain Canal and Lake
Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2005
Ths book was very helpful on a several-day trip I made up the Champlain Canal and Lake Champlain. It directed me to a fabulous anchorage I would otherwise likely not have learned about. I'd recommend buying it well in advance of a trip (at least weeks) in order to read and digest the information. This book must be used in conjunction with official navigation charts, and I'd recommend the official New York State Cruising Guide to the Canal System.

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2005
A thorough compilliation of facts and data for mariners interested in cruising NY and Vermont waterways from the Hudson river up through Lake Champlain and its environs.

Well done and very informative. One should have this book with them for planning and cruising.

Noah charts must be obtained seperately.
