Down the River

As Susan mentioned, we did a crew swap in Montreal on Thursday, and Bill and I left Thursday afternoon.

Thursday night we anchored here, and on Friday we stopped in Berthierville to pick up some parts.  Then on down the river.  Friday night we stopped here past Quebec City, and yesterday we got to Tadoussac.

I was hoping that Bill would see some whales here, and we weren’t disappointed.  Saw belugas on the way in, and fin whales were swimming among the anchored boats.  One came by us and Bill captured it on video.

All good aboard.  We’ll be continuing east on the south shore of the big river.  The biggest challenge so far is current, which runs both ways due to tidal influence.  This affects speed over ground as well as wave shapes and sizes.

These are my pics.  I may add some of Bill’s at some point.
