There is good anchoring too,
between Collier and Ninette
islands, as long as you keep to
one side or the other of the
centre of this passage, which
is well used by local boats,
especially in the evenings.

This is when we also go online to get

Using a mobile app like Navionics allows for quick planning and multiple revisions. On this
leg of the cruise to the 1000 Islands,

We then read the PORTS
Guide looking for hazards
along our route and for convenient

Finally, before coming into our
destination, Mary and I both
re-read the guide looking again for
any hazards or notes we missed or
forgot (and we find those on a regular basis.) If it is a particularly tricky
or complex approach, one of us will
read the guide out loud to the person on the helm as we progress.

time we come that way.
In closing, I thought I would look at the

and Oceans. The Sailing Directions is intended for commercial shipping and does
not cover the small craft routes that
PORTS covers. PORTS does not cover
the commercial routes you see on charts
especially on the Great Lakes. So, if you
