We scrubbed the decks before we left the marina for our cruise out the Richileau River into the Saint Lawrence Seaway. Most of the huge tanker ships were at anchor. We followed one sailboat at a distance and only came across one sailboat and motorboat headed the other direction until we came closer to Montreal. The ferry traffic picked up and we waited for a container ship to pass us thinking we were going to cross paths getting to the marina. We could not raise the marina staff on the VHF radio so we struggled in the current to get tied up. We never saw anyone after we called them on the phone and said we were staying put. So we barely got a WIFI signal up at the bistro and enjoyed a beer on the fly bridge watching the two roller coasters on either side of the boat basin. We plan to get an early start to the first of the six St. Lawrence Seaway Locks.
