| Oops! A boat (which will remain nameless) missed a marker and ran aground doing 15 knots in the lower Ottawa River. Sno' Dog became Tow Dog and successfully pulled them off - with some additional help from Miss My Money. |

| All six boats in the huge 65' deep Carillon Lock on the Ottawa Riv. |
| A cable ferry in the Richelieu. Cables clearly visible both front and rear. |
| Only 50 miles from the border, but a world apart. This micro-brewery (with it's specialty orange-flavored brew could easily have been in France or Belgium. |
| Sno Dog docked at the first lock of the Chambly Canal ready for tomorrow's 8:30 opening. |
| Chambly sunset. The Chosen church. |
| Raymarine screen showing our speed-over-the-ground at 23.6 knots! (If you're really good, you can see where we were at the time.) |
| Here, the radar (purple) is overlaid with the plotter. The big blob is a thunderstorm which moved over us in Lk Champlain. |
| Smooth cruising at 16-knots on Lake Champlain. Like flying low, only smoother and quieter! The small wake is an indication of how efficient this boat is, I suspect our fuel burn at this speed is under 5 gal/hr for both engines. |
| We plan to continue the trip to Portsmouth, NH next week. Stay tuned... |

| Note the small wake of the boats below - to me, a sign of a good design! |
