Ste.-Anne-des-Monts to Mont Louis

Left Ste-Anne-des-Monts on July 16, glassy calm day!  The wind picked up slightly around 8:00am, but quickly died, so today was a motor day!  It was so calm we were able to stay fairly close to shore, so took advantage and got another lighthouse picture at Le Martre.  The mountains continue to be beautiful and the day was spectacular!!  One we may take for granted on Lake Ontario, but certainly doesn't happen very often on the St. Lawrence!!  We anchored in a bay beside Mont Louis and spent the afternoon lying about on the deck, reading and falling asleep!!  That night we had the lobster I had bought in Ste-Anne-des-Monts....delicious!  We really felt spoiled today!  Even had the Mediterranean Cafe mix blasting from the cabin!!!  George took advantage of the calm waters and heat and took a quick dip under the boat to discover the cause of the tapping sound we heard the other day as we were sailing......loose zinc anode!  The water was way too cold for George to stay in and try to tighten it, so we decided to try at the next harbour and hope it didn't fall off before that!  Afterward we tried out our portable shower.....worked great!!!!  Was a bit fresh, as we didn't leave it out in the sun long enough, but it is going to be a great thing to have!!
