I made a number of new paintings during our long day yesterday. Left Quebec City around 9:00 and got into Cap a l’Aigle (the eagle) around 7:30. Mostly a day of motoring but with a light SW so we were able to do some wing-0n-wing for a couple of hours. Then the wind died and switched to SE…on the nose.
Top speed we saw was 12kn, our usual top being about 7kn…the rest being tide and current. However by the time we got close to Cap l’Aigle the tide had turned and we were making between 3 and 4kn over the ground.
Wind continues to be SE, forecast is for 10-15 but a couple heading downriver went out and returned saying that it was 20-25 in the river. Wind against current plus tide = rough ride. I’m voting to wait to go to Tadoussac tomorrow.

with love,
