    Hi all, been here a while but dont post much, i really do enjoy surfing around the siteh thoug. I just had a quick question about Palmer Johnson Yachts, particularly the larger ones. When they are completed by what waterway are they delivered? Reason i ask is i am on lake Erie and would love to get the opportunity to see some of these fantastic yachts in transit. My personal boat is a 38 Donzi ZX and i have spent my entire life in these waters so getting out to intercept isnt to big a problem. I really think it might be a nice day trip to get a glimpse of one as it makes its way to a new home. Thanks in advance for any input.

    They usually go thru the Great Lakes and out the St. Lawarence seaway then down the Eastern Seaboard to Florida for sign over.
    I can post when "Blue Ice" is going thru Port Huron if you wish.

    They usually arrive Port Colborne Lock8 aorund midnight, and have to tie up above Lock 8 until morning for Seaway Inspection.

    They went under the Mackinaw Bridge this morning (5-29-09) at 6:00 and should be in Port Huron about 7:00 tonight.
    Fuel is scheduled for Sunday in Oswego.
    So that should give you a time frame.
