Trois Rivieres to Montreal

Daybreak & Adagio left Trois Rivieres
Trois Rivieres Marina
 
 shortly after 0800 for the upriver cruise to Montreal.  It was against the current all the way, all 80 plus miles.  We burned more diesel than the the entire previous route from Burlington VT to Quebec.  The current was 1.5 kt to 2.0 kt even in the side channel, but the last approach to the Yacht Club Montreal the current was 5.0 kts.  It was almost a 10 hr day on the water.

We passed many ships in the ship channel.  Some came from behind us and we had to find a quick and safe place on the edge of the channel.  Quite a wake is created as they pass.
