Wednesday August 7th

We took our bikes ashore and went for a short ride out of town, towards the Parc Forillon.  Didn’t have time for a ride to the park, so returned to the town of Gaspe where we had lunch in the Café des Artiste.  Dennis and Ank invited us for dinner aboard Bodyguard and we had another very nice evening.  Before we left Quinita we put the anchor light on.  When we arrived on Bodyguard, Ank gave us the compass bearing to Quinita.  When we left, at 11pm, it was thick fog.  All we could see were three or four anchor lights above the fog, but the boats were not visible, so we had no idea which was ours.  Fortunately, using Ank’s bearing, we were able to identify our light and found our way back home.  Thanks Ank!  It was a little weird in the darkness and fog in a small dinghy – we couldn’t see Quinita until we were about 30 feet away.
