| We got up at 5:00am, made coffee and prepared for another early departure. The weather forecast was great and we were looking at another beautiful sunrise. Destination today: Riviere au Renard, which is about 90 miles away and very close to Gaspe point. |
 Joan spotted more whales about 7:30am. They were too far away to see their bodies coming out of the water but we could see their blows very clearly. Awesome! |
 We arrived in Rivere au Renard about 3:30pm. This community is the largest commercial fishing village in the Gaspe region. The pleasure craft marina is small but very well equipped and there is an interpretive centre incorporated in to the marina office and facilities. |
 We were also in for a treat because tonight there was to be live music on the front deck—bring your own libations—this is Quebec! (in other words, moderate and inconspicuous consumption of your own alcohol is acceptable—ya gotta love the Quebecois culture!). |
 With this knowledge at hand hurried to get our showers, laundry and a light supper finished so we could go and enjoy the music. A small crowd had gathered and we were treated to a woman playing the fiddle and singing and accompanied by a fellow playing the guitar and mandolin and another fellow playing traditional drums. |
 What a show! Chris and I were so inspired by one jig ‘n reel that we got up and danced with each other—much to Joan’s embarrassment and to the amusement of the locals! |
