…and leaving our comfort zone…
We did our reconnaissance last week
and thought it best to install the mast system just in case…
…left our home base under motor on a beautiful day,
…not another boat on the lake…
…our first obstacle…
(reference to our first attempt)
… looks like at least 2′ clearance….
I think…
…traversed the beautiful Baie-de-Vaudreuil
…our resting place while waiting for the lock at Sainte-Anne-de Bellevue to open…
as the gates of the lock opened, this is what appeared…
…boat with a boat garage….
Really?…
…harbour master at the lock was great…
gave us his full attention as we were the only boat in the lock…
30 minutes later gates opened at the other end…
…while the Admiral took refuge in the shade…
…once we secured a dock at the local reciprocol club
we enjoyed a great evening in Pointe-Claire Village with my daughter, her fiancé and future inlaws….
….this was her ‘impromtu’ dinner…
BBQ’d planked salmon,
grilled corn-on-the-cob,
amazing kale, arugula, spinach salad
&
roast potatoes…
….did I mention impromptu?
