wording July 31/12

• we passed beautiful farm land, it was hard to take the best picture because the eye sees more then a camera
• splitting screen, figuring out where are are going
• not too many boats on the south channel , this guy sure was plowing his way up stream against the currant
• it was a rare day, we had the foresail out
• day track
• inside Saint-Jean-Port Joli , the buoy's kept you out of the silted area, at low tide, unfortunatly it was at 9:45 pm, and could not take pictures, we sat on the bottom for about 3/4 of an hour ... the sailboat skipper that we where rafted to told us to keep the rudder straight because this was to happen ... and it did  we could not believe that the marina would be so dry ... since then we heard of another marina that at low tide the basin is completely dry.
• they turn no one away, we are rafted to another sailboat, the water colour
• we did a walk around town and stopped for fries
• a home made boat
• when we got back from our walk, more boats had been rafted together and we where packed in like sardines, it was just the way it was here ... no one had a problem with it
• we had quite a wind storm, but no rain here,... just a rainbow that stayed for about 1/2 hour
