For your info: I spoke to Wild Wind IV in Quebec City this morning. Dennis Raedeke expects to reach Lake Ontario early next week, with planned stops at Whitby and Toronto, before a transit of the Welland Canal on Friday. The Malcolm Tennant-designed 60-foot power catamaran is headed home to Lake Superior after a leisurely voyage from New Zealand where she was built by Dave Pachoud. Yours truly will serve as crew for Dennis and his wife Cam for the canal transit. --Georgs http://www.trawlerworld.com/passagemaking_wildwind_01.htm http://www.wellandcanal.com/

Hi Georgs---Just saw the note on the Wild Wind IV and it's impending transit through the Welland Canal. It so happens I live near the opening of the canal close to Lock 1 and would love to see you guys making the transit!!!! Let me know how we can communicate directly by a direct reply to this email as I would like to get a more precise time for the transit!! I would love to see this boat as I have met Malcolm many times in Australia and am considering one of his St. John designs!! Currently we are "Cat-less" having sold our 40ft Noosa Cat in Australia and thus looking around!!!! Cheers!

I would sure like to know when this vessel will be transiting west of Montreal on lake ST Francis... part of the St Lawrence River... I am Coast Guard Commander on a small inshore rescue vessel. We could salute you on your way by here...
