Montreal to Trois Rivieres

We left Vieux Port at 645 am, back into the crazy 5 knot current in the harbour (this time we were heading with it so we gained speed) to head east on the St. Lawrence River.  The river was flat calm and we cruised at a comfortable 20 knots (we were actually going 18 knots, but gained 2 knots from the current).

We cruised for 4 hours and arrived at Trois Rivieres at 1045 am.  Along the way, we saw more big ships, played Pirates and I spy, and watched some videos. We are finding it best to do our boating early in the morning.

We arrived in Trois Rivieres with the whole day ahead of us!  This marina was great.  It is located in L'ile Saint Quentin provincial park.  There was an awesome playground, a beach and a pool.

We had a great day and are heading off very early tomorrow morning in order to leave with the current.  We will gain speed and it will make the trip to Quebec City much easier.
