We pass another cable ferry. They seem to be a regular way of transportation along this section.
The scenery continues to be these glorious mountain villages with beautiful churches.
What a surprise when we reached the Beloeil railroad bridge. The turn takes you 90 degrees under a very fast current with no visibility of oncoming traffic. Nandad blew the horn with one prolonged blast and put the throttle at full speed. A very scary moment and glad that we will not have to repeat.
This is NH approaching the bridge through the narrow opening. Although you can approach with caution you certainly have to increase speed so that you can get through without stopping!
Here is the moment of relief afterwards.
NH arrives T the first flight of Locks - there are three together at 1.30. We are still waiting at 5pm to get through.
Always patience when boating. A great afternoon to catch up on reading, a lovely little village with great ice - cream, entertainment on the park, a gentle breeze with wonderful sunshine. What more do we need. We will eventually get to the other side of the lock when we will stay for the night.
