North Channel Ports/Anchorages

During our long, cold winter I spent many nights, with a rum & tonic, studying charts and guide books for the North Channel. I found it a real problem to have to search through the indexes to find a particular location. This could be a real problem on the boat as we navigated in unfamiliar waters.

The result of my frustration is the following list of cross-references for several ports and anchorages in the North Channel. I plan to laminate this list and keep it on the chart table. My original list also includes Lat & Lon waypoints near each location. I did not include the waypoints because many of them refer to a point plotted on my charts and would be of little use for others.

The table lists the page numbers for each location as found in Richardsons Lake Huron Chart Book (2nd. edition - I plan on purchasing the most recent edition and will update this list), GLCC Port Pilot and Marjorie Cahn Brazer's "The Well Favored Passage."
