They passed a 67-foot powerboat about 2 PM. She was scheduled to depart at 9:00 AM on Tuesday. I was annoyed that they let him through before me. They told me that I would be at 1 PM on Tuesday, since there would be no staff available at 9 AM.
I met Palbert and his girlfriend at the lock. I told him to come help me with the locks tomorrow. He agreed to. I had lots of doubts and concerns about him. I talked a lot, and I was not too sure how stable he was.
On Tuesday morning, it rained and stopped around 10:30. Hal showed up, and we chatted and prepared to depart. The other boat wanted its fenders on the port side, so I departed the dock a little earlier to switch my fenders to the starboard side.
The lockage went well, except at lock 7, a fender got caught against the wall and ripped off the handrail. It was attached to the handrail.
At Lock 2, Martin showed up with a dock wheel that I wanted to buy on the Facebook marketplace.
After lock 1, we docked. We were going to go for a late lunch and met a dock operator. We asked if anyone was driving back to St. Jean, and Yve was scheduled to arrive at 1700. We had lunch- a Montreal Pizza consisting of a funny dough with smoked meat and yellow mustard … at $33, it was pretty pricy.
After I had departed, I had a beer with Catherine and her crew, who were docked in front of BELLUM.
They gave me the shower code for the marina, and I had a shower.
I departed the dock for an anchorage nearby.
