Ile Verte to Longueil

I departed at noon for an 11 NM trip to Longueuil. 

It is a relatively short trip from what is effectively the east end of Montreal to Longueuil Marina. About 15 miles.  However, the current can exceed 3 knots.  

Ships and passenger ferries are plentiful.  

Anchored at 15h30 outside Le Club Nautique de Longueuil.  Took the dinghy to the club and looked around, then visited Longueuil Marina to investigate the best venue to pick up Jessica to help me through the Seaway locks.

Longueuil Marina was large and had nice docks, but all the docks were well gated, and the fuel dock was only open at 8.  There was also confusion about parking availability due to the F1 weekend.
