We left Chateau Montebello around 830 am this morning and headed east on the Ottawa river.
We could cruise at 18 knots and arrived at the Carillon lock just before noon. A short 20 minute wait and we entered the huge hydrolic lock. It is a 70 foot drop. What was formerly 11 locks is now 1 hydrolic lock. You descend in 20 minutes.
After that it was a short 1 hour cruise to St. Anne de Bellevue. St. Anne is a bustling suburb of Montreal. Lot's of canal side restaurants and boating activity.
Love being part of your trip,sounds like a wonderful journey
