St. Lambert to St. Anne de Bellevue – July 12, 2013

Out of our lagoon at 8:00 am to make our next lock at St Catherine’s, 9 miles later we are held there for commercial traffic, one coming up

up 2 s

Going in

up 6 s

And one down

Then a tribe of small boats arrive and they lock us all through together.

Out through the balance of the Canal de Rive Sud with a the gaggle of small boats then across Lac St. Loius via a zigzag route and into the Ottawa River at St Anne de Bellevue.

Squeezed onto the end of a high wall in what appears to be the Montreal version of “Ego alley”  (Annapolis boaters will know what that is)

Thirty miles, not bad considering the two hour delay.  Dinner ashore.

 Carillon tomorrow 55 feet lift in one lock.

  1. 55 FEET in one lock????
    Oh my GOD!
    Don’t all stand on one side the bloody boat might fall off the edge!

    You don’t actually seem to stop much and go and look at things, is that because you have seen it all before, or not much to see onshore, or not too interested?
