Happy to help you out with Champlain Canal info... I did the trip from the Hudson in August. Fire away with any questions you may have. The cruising guide to the canals is great with specific info: http://www.nyscanals.gov/exvac/cguide/index.html and the Dozier's Cruising guide is great for Lake Champlain as well as lots of great cruising in the northeast: http://www.waterwayguide.com/index.php The Great Lakes edition has the Champlain info but the Northesast edition is great to have too.

We did a three week trip from Lake Champlain to Oneida Lake this past September. The trip was a blast but completely different from the open waters of Lake Champlain. Come on up. You won't regret it.

The "Cruising Guide to the Hudson River, Lake Champlain & the St. Lawrence River: The Waterway from New York City to Montreal & Quebec City" is a worthwhile investment for some detailed local info.

I've been boating here since the mid '60s and will do my best to answer any questions you may have...

I just bought a Sundancer 300, it is being stored on Long Island and we are planning to "drive her home" the first-ish week of June, up the Hudson River, Champlain Canal, and then Lake Champlain. Should be a very exciting trip. When are you going?
