Thursday, August 1st.

We woke early, checked the forecast and set off for Saint Anne des Monts, 49 07.97N 066 29.27W.  The day started, very briefly with some nice tailwinds, which promptly died shortly after we left, so another day of motoring.  The seas were totally flat, so we did some jobs on the boat on the way.  We saw several whales, probably Minkes, but actually too far away to identify.  We also saw several seals, but the highlight of the day was a flock of birds, some kind of gulls, diving from a great height into the water for fish. 
We docked and discovered that once again people here are very friendly.  We were obviously in a fishing village, so after a bike ride into town we took the dockmaster’s suggestion for a local fish restaurant called Pub chez Bass.  And very nice it was too.
