Compared to the NY canals that we traversed next, well there was no comparison. The Canadians might be pressure washing the lock walls while in NY the growth is thick and toxic. My terry cloth covers rotted off. The TS was also mostly manned by eager college kids who did a fab job. We hope to head east and south again and may go this year but still undecided.
If we stay north 6-7 weeks in the North channel is a good substitute,
6-7 weeks in the north channel sounds like a fantastic backup plan! I now have the trent severn on my to-sail list, will have to do more research to prep. Have you sailed the thousand islands area?
Sadly our only experience on Lake Ontario was a quiet, mast horizontal, 40 mile trip over to Oswego, NY. Canadian friends rave about the islands but it's unlikely we will get there.
