Rimouski - Aug 15 and 16/12

it was quite foggy even in the marina - a racing boat

it would be nice to see it under full sail

another smaller racing boat

Modaki engulfed in fog

I am glad we are not trying to go some where today

the entrance to marina, a good idea

we went for a walk along the roadway to Canadian Tire, the view to stb.

in Quebec there are biking trails and walking trails every where, it was really nice to walk along the St. Lawrence

Pierre from TUDLEQ, drove us to the bank, post office, camera shop, and groceries.  The last time we provisioned like this  was in Portneuf, July 29 .... we where short mostly on milk and fresh vegetables and fruit

now finding places for everything

Martin, Helene et Gabrielle St. Pierre,, NORDAN, invited us to their 39ft. Corbin for dinner ... we had a great evening, including sampling Martin's own smoked salmon. We met on the Saguenay.  Martin has has given us lots of good advise for sailing around Gaspe and beyond.

NORDAN, coming into her own dock in Rimouski

We bought an extra radar reflector, a lot of the boats have 2 hanging up high.  Pierre  from (TUDLEQ), lent us his extra one, (when we where on the Saguenay) to get us to Rimouski, where we bought our own at a near by marina store. Joe is just hoisting it up !!!

there is a lot of working boats here

car ramp to ferry

the ferry runs 4 times a day from Rimouski to Forestville, on the north shore

it was really cold here today and with north east winds

it was amazing to watch the ferry back up to the car ramp .... looks like he has done it hundreds of times before

catamaran ferry

one of the fishing boats coming in, the crab season is over but they are fishing for flat fish

there was a lot of boats on dry dock here

Manon and Pierre had us to Pierre's place for supper (we met in the Saguenay),  it is great to get local knowledge for sailors that are from this area.  We will always remember Baie Eternite !!!!
