Fort Chambly, as we were leaving the dock this morning. Fort Chambly was built by the French in 1711
and was the last of three forts to be built on the same site with the original purpose
to protect travelers from the Indians.
This mountain was all by itself, we did not see another
one all day.
I think this sign is for visiting Americans that can’t
read French.
Almost every community has a church with this type of
steeple.
We crossed two cable ferries today, a cable is attached
to each side of the river and to the ferry, we have to wait until the ferry is
at the shore so the cable is low enough in the water to pass over it.
The weather was perfect for cruising the Richelieu River.
We arrived at the Saint-Ours Lock, this will be our last
lock before entering the St. Lawrence River tomorrow.
We tied our boat up to a floating dock inside the lock
chamber.
After passing through the lock, we tied up to a floating
dock along the lock wall for the night.
There is a park next to the lock with newly constructed cabins for rent.
Saint-Ours Dam.
The satellite image of Saint Ours Lock shows it covered in ice, when we were there it was 80 deg.
