Started off Monday morning bright and early from Kingston; crew of 3 - Maggie, Branko and Sailor Meow meow aka Sofie the cat (thank you Mon Mon.)
Winds were perfect. Wonderful sail around Wolf Island to the main channel - peaceful, lovely and then July 4th weekend hit us - full frontal. Boats, all manner of watercraft and things I have never seen before blew past and around us at breakneck speed Seems that all watercraft must be driven at the highest speed possible - busy people, going back and forth, forth and back. OK enough of the July 4th hubbub - back to the crew of H2OBO.
We finished the day anchored around the corner from Brockville, tucked away behind Smith Island. Had a much needed swim and amazingly enough Branko still smelled like a daisy :-)

The next two days found us traversing locks and bridges. It was a good thing that we never paid or spent money for my St Lawrence 'boat delivery' excursion back mid-May; since I confused all the locks and seemed to have taken incorrect notes. The bonus - was that it was like I had never been down this way before, so enjoyed it for a second/first time :-)
Anchored in a nice little bay on Lake St.Louis (suburb of Montreal) looking out over the resto/bar of Melocheville and enjoying the hot weather.

Love the blog! And how does Branko manage to stay so fresh?
I am enjoying my vicarious journey down the St. Lawrence from my sofa. Keeping my fingers crossed that I'll have a first-hand account of sailing in Bahamas! Or is it Barbados? Belize?
Miss you guys!
I have started saving for bahamas.
miss you so much
Bonjour!
Looks like they named a lake after me. They got it wrong though, I'm no saint. Glad to see you are having a great time. A la prochene (until next time)
