AT REST IN PARADISE

AT REST IN PARADISE

After a very feisty day at anchor (yes, even in a secure bay it can get really rough),  we planned our retreat from Tadoussac.  First a stop at the marina for gas and to replenish our water supply.  $10 gave us 3 hours of service (electricity and all the marina had to offer) and Sean, the dock master’s tips of the day: grocery store delivers free of charge and there is a fresh market within walking distance.  Best find, eggs that won’t need refrigeration and so much fresh produce.

Anchorage Approach

With fair weather forecast and favourable winds our target anchorage for the day was back to  Anse aux Basques.  We feel so fortunate sailing along and seeing all the whale sitings.

At anchor I let loose my best whale watching music…

We bathed in a fresh 13 ° C water and we honestly can’t remember when we haven’t had to sail in tuques and polar fleece and when our cabin has been this warm and dry.
