Quebec City, back to Trois Rivieres

We really didn't want to leave Quebec City just yet.  There's just too much to see and do here.  But we fueled up (1.39$ CD /liter, that's $5.27 US/gallon) and headed out through the open lock gates, timing our departure to get a tidal push back up the St. Lawrence to Trois Rivieres.  Because of the 14 ft tidal range here, the marina is protected behind a lock system,  the lock operates as do all locks to allow boats to pass between two different water levels.  At around high tide, the gates are left open to refill the marina basin and boats can pass freely through the gates.
