On the water again 6/27/08

Hello All:

We are in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellvue on the Ottawa River - staying on a delightful town dock or lock wall- they sore of run into each other. The dock is lined with restaurants and cafes all with outdoor seating. We had a Greek dinner tonight, Thai last night in Montreal and Lebanese the night before. The food is quite wonderful !!!

Today we left Montreal fairly early in light fog and arrived here around 3PM after going through 3 locks. We'll be Ottawa in a couple of days. It is doubtful that we'll find a place to dock there and Canada Day is next Tuesday. We're trying to rent a car in Montebello (about an hour from Ottawa) but no luck yet.

Note the picutre of the REALLY big boat that was docked in front of us. We moved when they left. DUH!!!

We've been traveling with a couple of boats - Woody and Ellen on "Double SS" and Rick and Peter on "MoJo". We love having company and more eyes to watch the navigation are always better. We are seeing more loopers now than we saw a few weeks ago. We have been moving really slowly and more are catching up. I expect we'll see a lot more when we get on the Trent-Severen - those who took the short cut through the Erie Canal will be on the same route as we are.

See you out there somewhere. . .
