July 29, 2013 Day 68 St. Lawrence River
Rimouski MarinaRimouski, Quebec, Canada
Today was another stay in port day. Fortunately
our mail arrived though! Today was a cold, rainy day so we were happy to be
here. We did have to untie and go over to the fuel dock this afternoon to
refuel the boat (in liters not gallons!)
We also got some laundry and other boat chores done.
Lisa and Joyce got together this morning and
shared whale pictures and have determined the large whale that was jumping was
a fin whale as suspected. We put some of
Lisa’s whale pictures on our blog.
Tomorrow we will go with Outbound and Esmeralda to
Sainte-Anne-des-Monts which is about 80 miles east of here on the St. Lawrence
River. It will be a very long travel
day, and if we have fog and/or rain, that will add to the challenge. We may go to a marina or to an anchorage – we
are not sure yet, but we are departing Rimouski at 6:30 am!

There are many gray seals on the St. Lawrence River also! (Thanks to Lisa for sharing the picture.). |
