There was a 4 knot current and we were riding with it. While we were only going 18 knots yet at times we were going 22 knots, you could see the speed climb at the current pushed us forward.
Noah and I spent some time learning about whales with some books we got him as we would soon be entering an area highly populated by whales. As luck would have it we saw several beluga whales off in the distance. We were all very excited!
We arrived in Cap a L'Aigle (Eagle Cape) at 1120 am and had the day ahead of us to explore.
It was a cute little marina. It is known as a refuge on the St. Lawrence as it is a protected harbour. There were some nature trails, a small beach for Noah to play on, a waterfalls and a really nice restaurant where we had lunch.
Noah got a chance to ride his bike and loved that!
In the early evening, we saw a whale fin of what we believe to be a Bluefin Whale just off of the marina wharf. We watched for quite some time but never saw more than the fin coming out of the water several times.
The tides here are crazy. There is a 15+ feet difference between high and low tide. The docks are floating. At low tide the water is down to mud flats.
