FINALLY HEADING SOUTH Sept 6-14

Been a rather uneventful week, lots of travel and we are finally at latitude 44N 50.929 ... Barrie is 44.389.29. Get this we went as high as 46N ,022.94 to get to Sorely , QC, before we started heading south.... over 2 weeks to, 450 odd miles to go farther north... what's wrong with this picture?
Coincidentally 46N is the same or close as the entrance to North Channel in Georgian Bay..

To answer my own question, what's wrong with this picture .....absolutely nothing.

Tonight we are sitting on the hook in New York , still on the Richelieu river, about 5 miles north of Lake Champlain... head to Burlington, Vermont tomorrow.. Cleared US Customs with no hitches... need to check in with US Border Patrol, when we essentially go from State to State..

Being September, weather is unpredictable , unbearable yesterday with the high humidity and having to deal with 10 locks as we climbed almost 90' feet from the St Lawrence river to Lake Champlain.
Last night , high winds and T-storms so we took a mooring on the lock at St Jean sur Richelieu.
A few things I'm still fortunate for...
Don't have to deal with the freighter traffic , that we did on the St Lawrence. Secondly, still haven't had to wear a pair of long pants since early June, except the occasional rain gear. I know my days are numbered on this second point as we head into Lake Champlain where the Green Mountains and Adirondack Mountains meet. Going down to 50 on Monday, so  will be a tough one to face in shorts and sandals...
Since  last entry we have been to Montreal, up to Sorely , QC and down the Richelieu. We are still 250-280 miles north of New York City and estimate about 2 weeks to get there. Will put the mast back up in about 10 days as we get south of Troy, NY , in the Catskills.

Here are some pic's of what we have seen/done.
