We left 3 rivers at noon today. The winds were strong and the skies were gray. But we headed out anyway. We had to leave there at noon so we could follow the falling tides and to reach Quebec City at low tides.
People told us at 3 rivers that we needed to watch out for strong currents and rip tides. We did see some strong currents (3 to 4 knots) but nothing like o was expecting based on the comments people were saying. I saw a lot worst in the Bay of Fundy.
We even had time to BBQ farmers sasuge, carrots and potatoes as we were sailing down the river.
When we got to Quebec City we contacted the ha bout master on channel 71 and he opened the lock for us and another boat. The habour master assigned us a berth. Now it's time for a beer.
Québec is such a nice city. I lived there for 3 years and would go back anytime. You've been lucky with the weather there usually more snow at this time of the year!
