Last night I realised we had a window to get to St Jean Port Joli. The wind was to come at noon so leaving with the civilised afternoon maree basse or low tide. Our decision was to get up at 4:45 and sail by 5:00. This is about 2 hours before high tide or haute maree. The phone developed an error and did not wake us up as a result we awoke at 5:15 and left by 5:30 one hour and 15 minutes before maree haute in Pointe-au-Pere. We had 29 nautical miles to go and did it in 3:35. As we arrived at 9:05 the wind started to get up around 6 or 7 knots and it was raining. Oh did I mention it rained cats and chien yesterday evening from 5:30 to 6:30. Just about filled the dingy again. We walked Molly went to breakfast and are now onboard hiding from the rain. It is not cold, but it is definitely not hot most likely around 17 or 18. Tonight we are going to La Coureuse des Greves a restaurant recommend by Andre Hout a gentleman we met at Crystler Park and Port de Plaisance Real Bouvier en Montreal. He is from The Yacht Club of Quebec and Secretaire of the Quebec Sailing Federation. We are all fine, but miss every one.
