Pecan left Montreal this morning at 9:08am with cool 48 deg F conditions and fog dissipating. We scooted up the St. Lawrence about 40 miles Sorel where we entered the Richelieu river (which'll take us south back to the USA via the Chambly canal and Lake Champlain.)
We have a good 5 to 6 knot current going with us for much of the lower part of our journey on the St. Lawrence River. the Jacques Cartier bridge dead ahead.
Looking back at the Montreal skyline.
A bit dark in the photo, but you can see we are running OpenCPN navigation software with a Canadian Hydrographic Service raster chart showing our position on the St. Lawrence River.
Freighter traffice passing port to port on the river. The PANAGIA was the only large ship we meet the whole day.
Entrance to the Richelieu river is quite non-descript. If you're not looking it'd be easy to pass by the river; what with industrial plants and wharves lining the shore.
Marina/resort along the Richelieu where we tied up for the night.
