We woke up to a glassy calm morning. The water was like a mirror for much of the day and once the light cloud and fog burned off, we had warming sun too (certainly needed after a very cool night) |

Our departure activities were monitored disapprovingly from a distance by a local harbour seal. We could infer his or her breakfast activities from the frenzied fish activity at the surface.

We motored toward our next destination hugging the shore so we could soak in the incredible scenery. At time we were a boat length from shore, but still in 100's of feet of water.

Baie Eternite include a historical landmark. In 1881, a 25' wooden statue of Our Lady of the Saguenay was transported up almost 600' to watch over the fjord and it's people. There are hiking paths that allow you to go up for a closer look.

As we approached La Baie (also know as La Baie de Ha! Ha!) we saw the wind pick up, on the nose again. Two freighter cam into view, and we tried to make sense of our cruising guides, electronic charts in order to find our destination for the night.

We ended up and the city dock which is located behind a new multi-million dollar facility for cruise ships ... the really big kind. Not only were the docks top notch, the city had clearly been invested in to make it attractive to the 1000's of passengers would unload at this spot.
