July 13 - 16

Starting the 2018 Lake Champlain voyage.

Friday July 13th we dropped one car in Cornwall at Marina 200 as Veronica and Shawn with Olive the dog will travel with us this first weekend. This was our first run through the Seaway Locks. Iroquois was the first with only a drop of one foot. Our first anchorage was Mille Roche were we dinghed ashore for a beach walk and exercise the puppy.

Day 2 has us going through Eisenhower and Snell Locks, both with a 45 foot drop each. Here we got to meet HMCS Moncton. Then into Lake St. Francis were we dropped Veronica and Shawn in Cornwall. A few miles later we picked up a nice anchorage at Colquhoun Islands which had a steady 1 knot current which kept us pointed west all through the night.

Day 3 we travelled through the lake to Valleyfield Quebec. Again another nice anchorage right by the town park. We will stay here a couple of nights and then travel through the Beauharnois Locks into Lac Saint-Louis where we will be meeting up with Bob, Rachel on I'Docked' R and Jim and Cathie on Holidaze.
