Week of Work

Sunset View of Valleyfield

Fountain in Valleyfield

We had a late start on the 4th to sail across Lake Saint Francois.  After a light air start, it was another perfect day with winds 6-8 knots from behind.  Duane took the helm all day again.  He says he needs to earn his keep.  We chose to sail to Valleyfiled so I could get WiFi for the week.  Arriving there at 5:00, we decided to drop a hook behind Ile aux Chats.  A little tricky getting into and weedy, but it is out of the main flow of traffic. 

We rode the dinghy in for a run Tuesday morning and reserved our slip for the week.  $1.75 per foot and $3 per day for Wifi.  Very nice marina and well protected.  The only thing to keep in mind is the bath house is at one end of the marina.  Near finger pier 1 if you make a reservation.  This is the opposite end of the gas dock. 

We can only stay until 9:00 am Friday due to hydroplane races taking place here over the weekend.  They are actually shutting down this whole end of the bay.  We plan to start through the Beauharnois canal on Friday and with a couple of nights anchorage, arrive in Montreal on Sunday.  Short hops for the Wandering Yumsuch.  No Wifi until Sunday night!
