We left St. Jean at 3 a.m.'ish in order to catch favorable tides and currents, as today we crossed the St. Lawrence River from it's north side to the south side - about a 20 mile crossing so want the most favorable sea state. We are headed for the marina at Rimouski. We are staying mostly at marinas along our journey on the St. Lawrence - there are very few anchorages. We've benefitted from having marina staff call ahead "in French" to the next marina to make our reservations.
