We set off early to Tadoussac, hoping to be able to sail
with the current even if the winds were light. They were non-existent, so we
motored again! After 4 hours though, the
wind picked up so we hoisted sails and beat the rest of the way. River sailing and the Saguenay in particular
because of its high cliffs either side, is pretty predictable. The wind follows the course of the river, so
you’re either on a dead run or it’s on the nose. In our case it was on the nose, but it was a
lively sail for the last couple of hours and the fair tide helped greatly.
We anchored in the bay again, 48 08.40N 069 42.49W, this
time in slightly shallow water – 30ft at LW, 45ft at HW. Having seen how anchoring is done here, this
time it was much easier. Photo 729…58
Went ashore for a pizza dinner.
