Aug. 5/12 gusting high winds perdicted for today - and no matter what direction it comes from it funnels down the Saguenay

  • Sunday morning breakfast - blueberry pancakes and peach liqueur
  • Noemie - dock attendant - she is so funny and she says she loves us because she wants to practice her English,  in 6 months she is joining the military
  • there is some interesting boats at the docks
  • this marina has bikes that you can use to go to town, so Joe and I did, our first stop was Patisserie Louise , then off to ride thru the covered bridge and visit a church, see a Citron
  • and back to view the low tide and the mud flats
  • there was a small river draining into the fjord and a sign said salmon fishing, but of course we don't have a license for Quebec
  • the Russel Bros. boat at low tide with a metal cage around the propeller 
  • by noon we had to make our decision to leave or stay ... high gusting winds where still forcasted for later in the afternoon, with thunder storms .. no one was moving and more boats where coming in for dockage
  • the sky threatened and we heard thunder in the distance, it was missing our area, except for a dozen high wind gusts, that rocked all boats.
  • finally by 5 pm rain came gently and soaked everything, but did not cool anything down
  • we still have warning out for high winds and thunder storms until midnight tonight .. but tomorrow looks good
  • I want to get moving up the fjord ....
