St Ours to Ile Verte

I got out at 8ish, and the two other boats had already departed.  I took out the garbage and departed at 8:12. 

Up the Richelieu River was uneventful. Current was 1.5 to 2 knots in my favour.  The only boat I passed was near the St Lawrence, and I asked him to slow down, and he did.  We waved.  Unlike 2018, when hundreds of power boats passed close to us, making it very uncomfortable with the mast on deck.

The St Lawrence was cold, rolly and windy.  The current was 1 knot against me. The leg was 30 NM when I arrived at Ile Verte.


I had some indecision about anchoring at Ile Verte.  The current was strong and windy - but bother were coming from the west.  I puttered around, looking for a shallow spot.  I ended up anchoring on the windward side of Ile Verte in 18 feet of water at 4:30.  

I was tired and cold, so I took a nap and then made a quick supper of Korean Ramen, which was spicy and warmed me up.
