Day 08: Serene Tranquility

Day 07: Westbound and down…

Today’s post title courtesy of Jerry Reed (Cledus Snow, Smokey & the Bandit, 1977). Another easy morning (& even foggier it turns out) as today we start our westward return journey towards home. The suns burns through the fog over land quite quickly, but the fog over the river persists…

Into the Gaspé

A crisp 6C start to the day. The winds have dropped quite a lot but it’s still breezy coming off of the water. We packed up and prepared to leave, no shorts and tee shirts today. We were about to pull out of our sight when I looked across the…
