This presentation documents a trip from Lake Ontario to Lake Erie through the Welland Canal on June 16, 2025.

My involvement with this adventure had its genesis in Punta Gorda, Florida in February 2025 when Bernie Coyne asked me if I would help as crew while he took his sailboat through the Welland Canal in June. Later Bernie asked if I could find a couple more crew for their friends Ted & Evelyn. Bill Schwenger and Nick Kozaravich were recruited to crew on Sensai and were a great help to Ted.

The slides were compiled by Bill Schwenger and Graham Segger for delivery to an August 28, 2025 meeting of the Probus Club of Pelham, Ontario. Photos were taken by Bill, Graham and others on the boats and friends observing us pass.
