Today starts out cold with a dark overcast, rain and very windy. It's oh so nice to have a pilothouse.
Along came a spider... Not exactly a great mug shot but clear evidence of who is spinning webs at the top of Nellie's mast. You'd think she wouldn't be hard to find seeing she's as big as the dinghy.
Gone are the cute little locks of the Rideau Canal. The two huge locks we traversed today on the Ottawa River were built a century later to handle ocean going ships.
59 miles from La Grand Presqu'ile to Saint-Anne-de-Bellevue, Quebec. The town-side docks are still underwater due to flooding. Nellie's safely moored to the opposite wall. To get into town we walk 100 yards back to the lock and cross over the canal.
313 miles into 2019 and 8,551 miles since Naples. DBH
