Greetings from on board the Mist of Avalon!
We're five on board for the first leg of the trip from
Ivy Lea to
Quebec City. (A little short-handed as six would make three pairs for 4 hour watches.) It's traditional for the crew to meet on the ship the night before to get settled in.
The weather forecast is for light westerly winds tomorrow, so we'll likely be motor-sailing with the foresails up when we can (blended hybrid mode
).
The trip starts bright and early tomorrow morning, and the skipper says we may try to go straight through to
Trois-Rivieres, Quebec (200 nautical miles / 366 km) in one shot of around-the-clock sailing, rather than day-sailing our way down the St. Lawrence Seaway.
Talk to you again somewhere down the river...
Pics will be posted, if I can find somewhere to connect.
