Cruise the Welland Canal to Toronto by boat - No Hurricanes Here!
Wow what a trip! Started out from Erie, Pennsylvania, USA on June 26th 2024 and didn't get back until July 21st. Most of the trip was solo; I was able to trick some old friends to come along for a few legs of the ride. You can see how much fun we had.
Going through the Welland Canal was incredible. All vessels are required to have 2 passengers going down, and 3 up. I was extremely lucky to find some amazing people on Facebook to help. Going down was easy and took only 7 hours. Heading back up was a serious power workout holding the boat off the slimy cement walls. In the vid you can see how the rising water pins the boat to the wall.
I spent a week exploring Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Awesome city, met some great friends and saw all the sights. Unfortunately there really is no protected anchorage. I stayed most nights at Cherry Beach, but was exposed to the prevailing winds. Hanlan's point mooring wall did the trick for windy/ stormy nights but cost $2/ foot/ night!
@rollinon Joined for the 5 day sail from Toronto, up the Welland Canal and home to Erie. It cost him a hair cut, I hope it was worth it.
Next year we sail north to the Northern Channel along the north shore of Lake Huron....
Ports (marinas):
Dunkirk NY (municipal pier), Westfield NY (Barcelona Harbor municipal dock), Buffalo NY (Canal Side) , Crystal Beach/ Point Abino Ontario Canada (Buffalo Canoe Club), Port Colborne (Custom Dock and Sugarloaf Marina), Port Dalhousie Ontario (municipal pier), Toronto (Harlan's point mooring wall, and Crystal Beach anchorage).

Jake, looks like an awesome trip!! Love the adventure!!!
Sure was, Thanks!
Incredible!!!!
Looks like fun! I'd love to come along sometime!
Well done! Sub’d!
There is no sound
Nice video man. Glad to see that you made it back in one piece. Hope you enjoyed your short stay in Ashtabula. -John of Easyrider, home port Ashtabula
any plans of doing bahama trip?
do more of these sailing videos.
Love the vid! I'm thinking of buying a liveaboard on Lake Erie sometime next year. Any word of advice? Is there an app for finding moorages?
Thanks! I used Navionics and Waterway Guide. Both are OK, and got me enough info. Some of the smaller ports can be shallow, so make sure have a good depth sounder.
Amen Brothie has a Good Sailing 🙏❤
It's so relaxing watching the video it's like bren on board with you cool keep making them ...
Exactly what I was going for, thanks!
Dude love the flip phone! Great video looks like you got some great sailing in. How much solar in watts is that you have running?
Great conditions for sure! I have two flexible solar panels each rated at 100Ws. This is more than enough to run the CPT Autopilot and refrigerator when it's sunny.... Not quite enough in overcast skies. My understanding is that flexible panels really lack in anything but clear skies.
Enjoyed video. I am 60 and would love to do what you do.
Hey thanks!
Awesome video, and fun I love the guitar at the end, my boat was purchased and restored from my touring and music so I can certainly appreciated the jam and love Zepp. Thanks Jake
Thanks! Nothing better than fueling one passion with another!
Sweet man! Live life! My sailboat is on a lake but we go out and sail every chance we get!
Thanks!
Love this video ! Make more !
Nice. What kind of boat do you have?
It's a 1983 Bristol 35.5 with a centerboard. Very happy with it!
Great boat!
So cool man! Makes me wanna get a boat of my own and sail with ya!
Thanks Jake!
Excited to see your dream coming to fruition! The hard work has paid off!
Thanks Zach!
