Mooring Day - Cornwall - Day One

[Tom R]

SOS Ottawa and members of GLUE spent the day raising moorings and placing the SOS bouys out in Cornwall, Andy Fiche of depthchargediving.ca lent us his boat and provided free transportation to the Belly Dumper, the Winch, the Dredge and the Barges in the AM. In the PM we did the Weir Power House and Milles Roche Power House. We hope to finish tomorrow and hopefully I will post a complete report with some pics from Knives,marvinpta and myself

Hey Tom is there a map of these sites somewhere, so I can actually find the buoys? I am pretty sure I know where the Eastcliff is, but I have never been to the Power Houses and the Dumper before

Have no idea, both are easily accessable and you can't miss the moorings. The Eastcliffe Hall is right in front of Chrysler Marina and the the rest are right in front of the Girl Guide camp in Longsault. Everything is bouyed and maintained by SOS Ottawa and Depth Charge Diving

and I also found some more dive sights! woohoo. Anyone know if Lock 20, the Cornwall wreck, and the sights not listed above are normally buoyed?

The cornwall wreck is a schooner simular to the Lilly Parsons only standing, all that remains is the hull. The wreck is also located in the shipping channel and is not marked.
