Nope no idea, not much info yet. Damages must be huge as this boat storage is quite big.

Greetings,
Mr. L_t. My Francaise is a bit rusty. Any injuries? Material goods can be replaced. Lives, not so much.
 
My marina just burnt, it's not the storage building it's the show room building that is gone. Packed with new boats up to 50 feet ...my boat is outside and is ok ..sad day

Quelle domage.


Was this in Montreal? Off the Ottawa river, or the St Lawrence? Or elsewhere?


Glad you and your boat are OK.

Geographically this was south east from Montreal, navigation wise this was east from Montreal, down the St Lawrence and south in the Richelieu river just north of lake Champlain.

Thanks, I see now. So on the Richelieu, not the St Lawrence.

That's right, anybody doing the great loop would be doing the Richelieu river and going past that marina. I went to see the marina today and talked to an owner. Estimation is between 20 to 25 million to rebuild including all the boats lost.

What a shame. I hope they successfully rebuild and continue on.

I haven’t been on the Richelieu, but would like to do that run from Watertown to the St Lawrence some day. We have traveled the st lawrence, Rideau, and Ottawa Rivers and enjoyed them all very much.
