Hi All,

This will be my first real cruise and I was hoping for some pointers from
other Lake Ontario sailors. I'm looking for tips on places to anchor along
the way and clubs to stay at, places to avoid, things to be aware of. We've
only done overnights at other clubs thus far. We do have the ports cruising
guide.

A friend just loaned me a set of paper charts that will cover the entire
cruise for which I'm very grateful (lots of charts! $$$) but they are out
of date, not sure how much of a big deal that is, he didn't seem to think
it was a big deal at all.

We have two anchors, a big CQR and a smaller delta, 50 feet of chain and
another 150 of rode. Haven't ever spent a night on the hook either so any
gotchas on that topic would be handy as well. I have a few books that I've
studied so I understand these things in principle .. no better way to learn
than by doing so we're going for it. August 10 to 26 is the time we have
booked off which means that we're starting this thing during the Perseid
Meteor shower .. I really want to do on an overnight passage with my
girlfriend, say from Toronto to Cobourg or something like that so that we
can enjoy the meteor shower out on the lake. I'm a sucker for that annual
meteor shower and haven't gotten to enjoy it in years. I know enough to
avoid the shipping lanes other than that an overnight on the lake seems
pretty straightforward.

Any thoughts and recommendations are much welcome.

Thanks,
Steve
