Off our mooring wall at 9 am (the first bridge does not open until after rush hour)
Out through Ottawa South past Rideau Gardens, I used to live about one block over from this point in the ‘70’s
Spent the weekend in Plettenberg Bay, that’s about 230km west of here heading towards Cape Town.

A certain Mandy Rice-Davies is alleged to have coined the oft-quoted question during the infamous (but juicy) Profumo trial 50 years ago; and the man himself had already averred in Parliament that there had been ‘no impropriety whatsoever’.

Crossed the Ottawa River and rounded Rockcliffe Park (Embassy Row for Ottawa)
I think this is the US Embassy, actually it’s the US Ambassadors residence a local tells me)

Made the second locking out of St. Anne on a very busy weekend traffic day.
Then out into the expanse of the lake, heading West, nothing much up front
