First Day in Quebec
Saint Anne de
Bellevue Lock Wall
We left our
peaceful dock and headed to the Carillon Lock this morning. The Carillon Lock
raises or lowers a boat 65’ in less than 30 minutes; it is the largest single drop
in Canada. Its guillotine gate at the lower end weighs 200 tons. The lock was
very impressive. It was the highlight of our day. We are now docked in a cute
little town in Quebec. The dock is right next to a promenade that is full of
restaurants. It’s very nice this evening, but I’m sure it would be crazy here on a
weekend. We had a late lunch at Violet Angel after we secured the boat. It was
fun sitting on the deck over looking the water and enjoying a great pizza. We
spent another evening visiting with people as they passed by the boat…all asking the same
questions. Are you really from Texas, how did you get here and how long did it take?
