Canal Bound to Montreal.

We left Rouses Point on June 23rd. After a brief 20 minute sail we checked in with Canadian customs. Soon we were on our way up the Richileu river. 

Since parts of the Richileu are shallow rapids, we went on the Chambly canal. This was constructed on the early 1800s. Even with some updates it is a very narrow passage. 

There was only about 2 feet on either side of our boat in some locks. Needless to say it was a challenge to "lock through". 

The trip on the Richileu took about 3 days. It ended at Sorel-Tracy which is on the Saint Lawrence Seaway.
