Arrival Update




Well, the last day isn't the last day....Red sky in morning sailors take warning ...We left Arnprior early in the morning and spent a bit more time than usual finding the portage around the dam without good maps. Later going downstream ...on an unknown lake making up the Ottawa River a wind blowing against us has grounded us till further notice(15km from the city)...quelle domage...but a storm is still beautiful ...hopefully we'll arrive at our destination late morning tomorrow.
