: Bryan, here is another suggestion. I use a Delorme Topo Maps program but the
: program doesn't map Canada. These are two of the maps of Royal Island when
: I was considering sailing around it. The top map is one inch = 8 miles and
: the bottom map is one inch = 1 mile but you can get down to one inch = 250
: feet as I remember. You can snap in longitude and latitude grids so you
: can find your position using a GPS with the maps and put in L&L at
: positions you want to stop at. The maps are a lot more legible then they
: show here.

Hi John,

Biggest problem with those is they don't seem to have soundings listed like a nautical chart. While a kayak won't worry about grounding, there are several sections of the lakes where extreme shallow water can make for dangerous paddling if there are wind/weather issues.
