Ticket to ride |
We arrived at Iroquois lock at 8. The Credit Card payment machine was not working. They could not pass us through cos they were doing work on a gate.
We waited 45 minutes and went through alone. Nice chatty guy at the lock explaining how much less man power it takes to run a lock compared to 30 years ago. He told us that a couple days ago a ship hit the arrestor bridge at Beauharnois and blocked ship traffic for 12 hours. Later we found out Andre was stuck in Valleyfield because of this.

We motored in 1 to 1 1/2 current. We were doing 7 knots GPS without a sweat. Very light winds. 4 + hours of motoring. 8 hours since Cape Vincent, not sure where the next gas station will be.
Jamie met us in a dinghy before Stormont and we motored together to the visitor dock.
Rickety dock at Stormont |
We walked to LCBO TO stock up.
Jamie and Joanne met up with us later.
We had a supper of hambergers.
Tomorrow Snell and Eisenhower and what ever we can. Winds are forecast to be light.
