After un strppping the mast and clearing the weeds from the prop we set off up the Richelieu River toward the Chambly Canal. Once again weeds wrapped around the prop and we had to pull into a small marina and I went diving again. Since them we have been unable to maintain full pwer adn are forced to operate at about 1150 revs giving us aboutr 3.5 knots. Fortunately the current and wind were with us and we arrived safely at St. Jean sur Richelieu, at the entrance to the canal. The scenery along the Richelieu River is beautiful and even with our (minor) troubles the voyage so far has been wonderful.
