    Had a prop shaft pull out of the transmission coupling, and the support received from Holmes Marina (Frank & Joe) to repair us was outstanding. Knowlegeable, helpful, and accommodating - this is who i would call first if you need maintenance in this region. Travel Lift for up to 20 ton, and a beam not more than 14 feet. Spent the night at a transient slip and think we were the only ones there that night - total relaxation.

    All alone anchored all day on a beautiful summer Sunday. Lots of room to anchor just outside the shipping channel in 10 to 15 feet. Lots of boats passing close by all day long to fuel at the adjacent Kahnawake Marina, thankfully our boat is large enough the wakes were a small nuisance; but not much etiquette displayed for an anchored boat. A good proximate place to await opening of the St Catherine lock the next day.
