sunset on last night in Trois-Rivieres. Au revoir et merci!
Carole & Michel (the loopers)
Waiting at St-Lambert lock
Yet another ship locks through
last ship in Ste Catherine lock before we can go through.
We're on our way home! Finally had boat repaired by our great mechanic, Pat. We left Trois-Rivieres on Friday, August 19th fighting strong currents all the way to Montreal. Long day! Arrived at marina in Longueil to be greeted by Michel & Carole whom we'd met 2 years ago in Orillia. What a nice surprise. Next day only got through 2 commercial locks in Montreal. Had to way for ships to go through as they have priority. Got to Ste Anne de Bellevue on a Saturday night at 8pm. You wouldn't believe the number of boats that were at docks. It's party central. Left for Ottawa the next morning but only made it half way. Anchored out for the night and woke up to very strong winds. Had a difficult time pulling up the anchor because of the wind. Yesterday we stayed at the marina at Lac Leamy and had a great time. Just went through the 8 flight locks starting up the Rideau. Stopped on the wall for a bit of food shopping then on to get fuel as we start our journey back home. Don't know when I'll have internet access again. Will update asap.
