Dinghy cruising on my CL 16 down the Saint-Lawrence river from Montréal to Quebec.
I sail my CL 16 from Montréal to Quebec City, 174 nm on the Saint-Lawrence River dodging ships, currents and tides, anchoring on the river banks for 6 the six night dinghy cruise. In part 1, I get the boat ready and put in at a local dock just east of Montréal for my first night on the Saint-Lawrence River.

Maybe the CL 16 I bought for parts from l’école de voile de Lachine is one that you sailed on. On sait jamais.
Lovely, making adventures . Greetings from the Netherlands
Daunting and exciting sharing the seaway with the big boys. What could go wrong? I will find out . . . binge worthy . . .
I look forward to seeing more clips of your trip! Thanks, bestRoy

Hi, from Montreal...
Pink Floyd? Good
Compared to my first launch, where I lost the bung and nearly sank, that was very slick.

I almost did that when I launched my Contessa 26 for the first time. The crane guy noticed that I hadn’t put it in as they were lowering it.
Why shouldn't a GRP boat float??
Local boy are you in Lachine?

@@robboss5144 I want to go from Toronto to Montreal. Or at least Kingston to Montreal. The only thing is that you can’t go through the Iroquois locks. There’s a 20’ minimum. You would have to get out there and trailer your boat to the other side. But it’s doable. Especially sailing through 1000 islands.

I have a 22 foot Tanzer so I should be allowed through the locks right?@@spirosailingtime

@@robboss5144 yes. I thought you had a cl16 like mine. Yes. Over 20’ with a motor you are good to go. And you can go back and forth. I was going to trailer my CL to Toronto and sail back to Montreal. Take advantage of the slight current.
