My plan:
Tow boat from home to Mallets Bay, VT (<3 hours)
Spend 4 days on mid-to upper Champlain based out of Mallets Bay every night.
Load up boat and drive to Westport, NY (1.5 hours)
Re-launch the boat and leave the truck and trailer in Westport.
Head south down the lake, the canal, and the Hudson River (north of Saugerties because we've already done the stretch from Saugerties to NYC) with lots of long stops at the many ports on the route. (3 to 7 days).
Leave the boat in Hudson, NY for a day while we take Amtrak from Hudson to Westport (5.5 hour train ride)
Drive truck and trailer from Westport to Hudson (<3.5 hour drive)
Load boat and head home. (<4 hour drive)
Any thoughts or recommendations for the section from the top of the canal to Hudson? We have been to Champlain before. We would like to explore some of the following places: Crown Point State Park, Fort Ticonderoga, Whitehall, Fort Edward, Schuyler, Saratoga Springs (via taxi from/to Schuyler), Stillwater, Mechanicville, Waterford, Troy, Albany, Coeyman's Landing, and Hudson.
