Photos-Our One Month Cruise

[JerryS]

Somehow, my wife and I managed to survive a month long cruise in a 270da. We put in at Clayton, NY and then went to Gananoque, ON, up the Rideau to Merrickville and back to Clayton.

Below are a few pictures and a link to our slideshow:

Very nice Jerry! Clayton will be our trip for next year for sure. Not sure we can go the distance you did due too fewer days off but we'll make the best of it, Mike.

Thanks, Mike. Clayton is a quiet little village, but, very boater friendly. You will enjoy the Antique Boat Museum. We liked Bella's was ok for lunch and outstanding for dinner. Get a table out on the deck and watch the boat traffic and sunset - very pleasant! There a ton of place to explore in the 1000 Islands. The water is crystal clear. We really liked it. I would really like to leave my boat there for use in the summer. However, that would mean that I would have to buy a second boat. Not so hot about that idea.

That looked like an amazing trip! How many nights actually spent on the boat and how many nautical miles covered? I'd love to do a trip like that some day.

Great photos mate and cleary a great trip. I admire your ability to take to the water in a 270 for a month. I was considering an inshore coastal journey myself but I'm not sure we could live on the boat for more than about a week. How did the batteries last or do you have a generator?

Thanks for the compliments. We did stay on the boat every night for a month. We probably had electricity about 1/2 of the time, but, not a problem since we do have a generator. Total miles covered was about 250 miles. In the past we have done more miles, but, not stopped in any one place very long. On this trip, we would stop and stay at this or that place for several days at a time. The main issues are finding food, ice and water. We had to do laundry a couple of times. The best part is being able to meet a lot of people from different places.

They are a big 270 Lord Farringdon.....250 by today's standards. I would need a 300 to be happy these days, Mike.

Great pics, i love that you used the boat in the campground, i have been trying to convice my wife to do that since we got our 270 and she keeps telling me boating cant be camping, sent her a copy of your pic just to prove boating can be anything you want it to be.
