Does anyone know the approx. opening date for the season?

If you go to the my canals website they'll give you the date.


Toronto in summer, Bahamas in winter.

The way global warming has messed with the Great Lakes, I'd say about August.

Dear LeBelle-come visit us at the Toronto island Marina. We are two away from the fuel dock. Our boat up there is Frolix.

Do you go down and back by boat? If so how long does the trip from Miami to TO take

I did the math for my Fantasia 35, I figure it should take very close to 38 days. Maybe more, not likely less.

Assuming you don't head offshore, that would be long days and no allowance for weather/breakdown/lock closures.

We would plan on 60day if we were in a rush but more like 90 days to make it a relaxing trip with time to visit along the way.

With the OP's motor yacht, 38 days is probably realistic as 100-200 miles days are possible without killing yourself (not on the erie though due to locks.)

Yes, those are 38 travel days, limited offshore, generally long days.

I no longer do Toronto to Miami but when I did I used to start early September and get to Miami in late November early December. You can do it in a lot less But that would seem like work. If you have to worry about time it's no longer cruising.
