Loved this, thank you. Born and raised in a family that has been in Stony Point, NY since the late 1600s. Right on the Hudson just south of the Bear Mountain Bridge at the rivers widest point of 3.4 miles. (5.47km) Lots of time spent on that river. You went right by our lighthouse which was built in 1826.

Very cool! Thanks for the note (and thanks for watching) Steve can trace his family arrival to NY to 1700 - the Bull Stone House built in 1722 still stands :) The lighthouses on the Hudson are amazing!

Awesome Video! Lake Champlain and the canal are a great trip! ...in our totally unbiased opinion.

Hey hey! Great spot!

Hey, you passed by our local lighthouse in Kingston, N.Y.! It guards the mouth of the Rondout Creek, which served as the terminus of the Delaware & Hudson Canal in the 1800s. I've met boaters at the marinas doing the Great Loop up the Hudson, across the Erie Canal, through the Great Lakes, and down the Mississippi River. I believe another version of it takes the route you did through Quebec and Ontario. I just happened upon The Journey Part 3. Now I have to watch the other parts. Thanks!

Great vid! Now, I want a boat.

Do it!!!!

Great concept behind the journey (smallish boat, lowish cost), but not much on sleeping, cooking, eating, storage, bathroom use, socializing, and so on on such a boat. Those are big parts of boating on a small boat. Fun overall. Cheers

Good point. We cut all that out but that is vital info for aspiring boaters, isn't it?? Hmm... for Season 3 we are working on a new Odyssey and should include that stuff. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!

How long did Toronto to Montreal trip take?

@WaterWaysTV 2 ай бұрын

We did it over 5 days. Toronto --> Cobourg Cobourg --> Picton Picton --> Brockville Brockville --> Valleyfield (Quebec) Valleyfield --> Montreal You could shorten that if you pressed right through to Picton or Kingston. You may be able to do the Brockville to Montreal stretch in a single day IF the timing worked out for bridges and locks, but you cant' count on that in the Seaway.

Champlain is the 6th largest lake in the US, not the 13th!

@WaterWaysTV 12 күн бұрын

It's 13th if you include lates that are partially in USA after the five great lakes - Lake Superior, Lake Huron, Lake Michigan, Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, there is Lake of the Woods (Minnesota + Canada), Iliamna Lake (Alaska), Great Salt Lake (Utah), Lake Oahe (North + South Dakota), Lake Okeechobee (Florida), Lake Pontchartrain (Louisiana), Lake Sakakawea (North Dakota) and then Lake Champlain If you only use lakes entirely within USA Lake Champlain is 8th after Lake Michigan, Iliamna Lake, Great Salt Lake, Lake Oahe, Lake Okechobee, Lake Pontchartrain, Lake Sakakawea

I do not see customer service officer in the video. Human trafficking appears to be possible via a private recreational boats from Canada US or vice versa.

If you have a NEXUS Trusted Traveller pass you can use the app to check in. Otherwise you need to call in. But otherwise waterways are like the vast majority of the 8,891 km border and "open" (but patrolled and defended)

Awesome journey to share! How'd you hook up with Neil deGrasse Tyson?

@WaterWaysTV 12 күн бұрын

We asked nicely (honestly, no tricks or connecitons) if he would help us explain the physics of boating to boaters who many never have thought of it!

Ex-Montreal sailor now living in Bristol Ri. I have travelled most of the Eastern Seabord including the Lake Champlain / Hudson River cruise in the 1970’s and now am docked aboard my Albin 35 Te dual diesel power cruiser on Narragansett Bay. I love your channel however Your intro video of the boat wake show multiple images of brown water as if this is the standard and usual color of Upper Canada waters. Has the waterways pollution reached the point of becoming a sewer ? That is a real turn-off for anyone from the coast contemplating cruising pristine Canadian waters. 13:17

@WaterWaysTV 12 күн бұрын

If you're referring to the opening shots with the show intro/montage (and theme song) that brownish/red water is the Shubenacadie River with the red clay shoreline churned up by the tidal bore from the Bay of Fundy. The water in the Champlain Canal in NY was rather brownish but the St Lawrence and the Great Lakes are clean and clear!

I grew up on the slopes of Mont St Hilaire. The narrow channel of the train bridge in MxMasterville is actually the exact site of the worst railbridge disaster in Canadian history killing 99 people in the 1800's. As teenagers in the 80's we would cross the bridge both above and underneath walking on the girders. Many have stories of running to the intermittent safety platforms to escape oncoming trains while using the bridge as a shortcut across the river. We also would jump into the canal from the bridge because we were idiots. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beloeil_train_disaster
