Yesterday we made it through 3 of the 7 locks on this part of the seaway. We also left the US for the final time. We won’t be back until we reach Maine.
The river is fast and we’re making good time. To reach the marina we’re staying at I had to go upstream for 3 miles. That’s when you really notice the current. It took almost an hour to make that trip.
Our goal today is to go through Lac Saint-Francois and anchor near the Valleyfield lift bridge. If we catch the 9AM lift, we should be able to do the 2PM Beauharnois locks.
We’re also nearing Quebec and we’re hearing more French. I have high hopes we’ll be able to get by on the Microsoft Translator app installed on our iPhones. I’ll let you know how that works out. Any French speakers want to go on an trip from Montreal to Halifax?
