Crossing paths with a big boy. |
We haven't been in waters as large as the St. Lawrence since we left Lake Ontario five weeks ago. Big waters introduce a whole new set of problems--including the opportunity to get ourselves run over by 50,000,000 pound freighters. To put that into perspective, Nellie would have as much chance as a pint of milk being hit by a car. Yeah, not a pretty picture. Note to self, stay away from freighters.
The 55 bridge across the St. Lawrence greets us after crossing Lac Saint-Pierre. Even in a big lake (20 miles long by 8 miles wide) the current was 2 mph. |
47 miles from Parc Bellerive, Quebec to Trois-Rivières, Quebec. |
Tonight we're moored in a very nice marina in Trois-Rivières. It feels like a different world if only because French is the predominate language. Bonne nuit. DBH
