Planning a trip starting in May from North Carolina to Washington DC, to New York then up the Hudson, to the Erie Canal, then Oswego Canal, the 1000 islands, then to Montreal, on to Lake Champlain, back down the Hudson River and back home. Will be travelling with our boat, shadowed by our friends in their Silverton.
I have a Raymarine with a Navionics chip covering the entire US East coast (XG16), but I have no chip for the Canada portion of the loop. I'm hoping some of you knowledgeable navigators can give me some advice. Can I forgo getting a Navionics chip for the rather short Canada leg and rely on paper charts, or is that a bad idea? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
