After a load of poutine and les tres belles femmes, we’re about to head out of Quebec on an easy journey to Charlavois about 50 miles up the St. lawrence.
Blair, Dave and I arrived Sunday at 6pm and took a tour around downtown Quebec with Rick and Dennis and found ourselves in the middle of a giant festival. It turned out to be the last night of the Festivale d’ete. So there was concert after concert and buskers and people everywhere. Just an amazing place. We had dinner and drinks and toured around practicing our French, following Rick’s lead.
We ended up at a nice French watering hole and enjoyed about seven songs before Rick decided he had enough and wanted to head out for a poutine run.
Monday morning came and went with us preparing for the next leg and saying goodbye to Dennis. Sounded like he had a great time aboard the Entertainer for the past two weeks.
Another tour of the beautiful city in the afternoon and back to the boat for an amazing Trout dinner provided by Rick. 10pm and the light show comes on the kilometer long grain elevator building. We were blown away by the hour long video presentation that was projected along the building. Nothing like it in the world. Back deck of the Entertainer with beers and friends, good times.
Tuesday morning and we’ve enjoyed maple buttered bagels, and are setting off. Beautiful weather, summer has finally arrived.

Good luck with your new mates. You’ll need it.
🙂
P.S. I’m super happy for you guys yet insanely jealous that I’m not there. In the meantime I’m going to look at pictures of Dave and Jay for hour at a time and cry myself to sleep at night.
