Still in Trois-Rivieres

Still waiting for the part to come in. Last we heard it was in Buffalo!! So, thanks to the marina in Trois-Rivieres, we ride around this park island and go to town to visit and shop for food. Bicycles have large baskets so we can bring back quite a bit in them. Very handy. Today we visited historic Trois-Rivieres. As I was born here and lived in Ste Genevieve de Batiscan as a baby, Ste Anne de la Perade (famous for ice fishing) until I was 6 and Shawinigan until I was 16, staying here brings back a lot of memories.

Stop along the waterfront
We've been on our journey for 2 months now. This was to be a shakedown trip to find out if we could be away long term on the boat. The conclusion is...maximum 1 month away. Beside, most of the loopers we've met have told us that Georgian Bay is the highlight of the loop. I miss swimming!!! Hoping to do that when we finally get to the Thousand Islands.
