Hi folks,

I have a birthday coming up where I could theoretically get a gift from the admiral, who needs gift ideas, and I think spending a long winter scrutinizing charts of Lake Erie would help the warmer weather get here quicker. Can anyone recommend a good cruising guide/chart book for Lake Erie?

For Nationals next year, the crew and I are planning on motoring up to Cleveburg early and cruising to Vermillion or thereabouts, and need some good literature for the trip.

Any recommendations? I checked WM's website and there are about a thousand chart books, but very few specifically about Lake Erie (that I could find anyway).

Thanks,
Ben

I did find this one after further investigation. This looks pretty good.

Any other recommendations are welcome!

that one is as good as any other. Do some online research about Put-in-bay, Middle Bass Island and Kelley's Island too.

I'm a fan of Lakeland Boatings Lake Erie cruising guide. I've never found a better one.
