It was a rainy night last night and the morning is a gray and foggy one. There is that damp chill in the air and we are ready for departure. Our run today is a short one but it takes us out into more of open water now fully influenced and fed by the northern Atlantic ocean. We have reached the point where the river ceases to be and the vastness of the ocean begins.
As we enter into the open waters we are greeted by big and long ground swells that are swaying the boat left and right till we turn and find ourselves more into the oncoming swells. This scenario is not a favorable one for me and definitely not one to go below at all. Looking out at the horizon and the beautiful shore lined with incredible master pieces of cliffs chiseled into forms and shapes of various nature, while revealing the exposed layers of millions of years into their creation, is a bit distracting for me.

As we move along this breath taking shore line so rugged revealing it’s true nature the skies are turning blue and the sun is coming through. If only the seas were not so rough we could go closer to investigate the crevices, caves and have an up-close picture of the majestic light house crowning the top of the turning point into the Bay of Gaspe. Nevertheless, the sights are spectacular and memorable. The other side of that rugged terrain presents itself as soft green rolling hills with meadows of purple flowers blooming and small towns emerging. As we move further into the Bay towards our resting point for tonight the swells give in and the calm waters begin. The view is just as spectacular and forever reaching. Here we even encounter an otter basking himself in the clear waters of the bay while observing the newcomers to it’s territory.
As we arrive at the marina and settle in for the night we also notice that our Canadian wifi has stopped working for us and it is very frustrating for now we only depend upon the wifi at each marina and those are very weak and you have to go to the marina building in order to connect. Keep that in mind for my blogs will be not timely any more till we have either resolved this issue or gotten to the US territory where we can connect again to the original wifi.
Since I am unable to add media at this point I promise to do so at a later date.
Till than greetings from Bay of Gaspe and than Bay de Chagrine, the Madlene islands and than Prince Edwrd island.
