Woke up this morning to howling winds from the SW. After listening to the Canadian Wx service which was posting a "strong wind" advisory for Montreal, I decided that I didn't want to negotiate the locks with that much wind. The problem is tying up to the Pleasure Craft Docks and then getting off again to enter the Canal.
We will spend the day here at the Marina and try it again tomorrow. We're only 40 nm from Montreal. If we leave at 0830 hrs tomorrow morning, we'll be in Montreal by 1700 hrs in the afternoon. We have mail and meds waiting for us in Montreal. I hope our engine can motor against a 6 kt current that runs for 2 nm upon entering Montreal. If we can't do it, I'll drop downstream and find another marina.
