Yup, I grew up around the Rideau, lived for a while on the canal withins

Cool. We have fond memories of that cruise in our old Bertram 33. Up
the NYS/Erie/Oswego canals to Lake Ontario; across the lake to
Kingston; up the Rideal to Ottawa; down the Ottawa River to Montreal;
St Lawrence River to Sorel; Richelieu River and Chambly Canal back to
Lake Champlain; and then south to the Hudson River/NYC.

Here's a picture of us on that trip, headed north on the Oswego Canal
towards Fulton, NY and Lake Ontario:

Nice trip Wayne, you would have passed west of Wolfe Island, I live at
the east end of that island.
