Our Route



From Sarnia Yacht Club we will turn to our port side and head south under the Bluewater Bridge down the St- Clair river. That takes us to Lake St. Clair then the Detroit River. We intend to stay in Detroit the first night. We will then make out way to the U.S. side of Lake Erie till we reach Buffalo New York where we will enter the Erie Canal.



The Erie Canal is a waterway in New York that runs about 363 miles (584 km) from Albany, New York, on the Hudson River to Buffalo, New York, at Lake Erie, completing a navigable water route from the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes. The canal contains 36 locks and encompasses a total elevation differential of around 565 ft.


The Hudson River will take us to New York, New York where we will then hug the east coast of the U.S. till we get to Florida.

From Florida we will sail across to the Bahamas.
