Not where you think. or not sure how we got from there to here!

Now that I have your attention! We're in SUNNY Rimouski Crossed over after the crew change. Left Tadoussac at 1030 saw some whales and seals on the way out and then one more of each on the S shore. Motor sailed the whole way fastest speed 12.2 knots We were about an hour behind the best leaving time but still made it to here by 1900. Spent most of it training the new crew member Les, who was immediately promoted from jr. bilge Rat to Snr. dogs body upon stepping on board and getting the anchor out of the bottom. today everyone went to the Empress of Ireland museum where they also have the submarine Onadaga. The others took a cab I elected a bicycle. nice ride, into the wind both ways just like canoeing and sailing. Pictures to follow at some point. have been fighting with a com1 issue on the computer when I turn on the nav program. Latest fix I came up with was to uninstall and then shut everything down and restart seems to work but will wait until the morning to see if it's permanent. If anyone has any other ideas let me know. Off about 0300 tomorrow for parts east. The two boats have been travelling together which does offer a little bit of security but that might end at St. Anne Des Monts if Les and I head back North across the river to the Mingan Islands Time will tell.
