Travel Day
Hawkesbury
Confederation Park
First thing this
morning we moved the boat to the blue line for the Ottawa Stair Locks. By the
time the locks opened there were eight boats ready to lock down. We were lucky they took the boats locking down first. It took about 1 ½ hours to do the eight
locks. We are now done with the Rideau Canal…moving towards Montreal now. We
really enjoyed the Rideau, it was amazingly beautiful and the people we met
were so nice.
We traveled down
the Ottawa River today. The scenery was pretty, rolling hills and lots of
farmland. It is much greener here…I guess they are getting more rain than the
Ottawa area. We are just relaxing this evening…no exploring. We will move on to
Saint Anne de Bellevue tomorrow, we may stay there an extra day and then on to
Montreal.
