Departure Royal to Lake St Francis

Pierre, Jason, Mike, Norm came to our departure party

We ended up opening a bottle of bubbly. 


Left at noon down the zig-zag Chanel  and had to wait a couple hours at Beauharnois locks


Got to Lake st Francis in the dark, trying to avoid the ice fences.


We decided to head for Grenadier island since it would mean no backtracking nor complicated entry into Valleyfield.
