Quebec....
The
Richelieu River in Quebec, which starts where Lake Champlain ends, is
an amazing stretch of the world. Chock full of both American and Canadian
history, it's also a small slice of France with gourmet foods, old-world
hospitality, and the most immaculate farms you'll ever see in your life.
What makes this trip so great for rowers is the wealth of stopping places,
food places, historic places.... everything places, right along
the river and frequently enough for travelers in small boats like us.
And the river is narrow enough that waves are essentially a non-issue.
We'll
change hotels on average every 2 days, backtracking as needed by car, not
by boat. Each row will proceed down the river, taking advantage of the current.
More details about the trip can be seen in the captions
in the slideshow above.
