Sat. 15 Aug






Aboard Nordik Express
Gulf of St Lawrence

The barking and howling of pets in the on deck kennels had us awake around six in the cabin.
Today we have docked at La Tabatière and Tête à Baleine , and Harrington Harbour so far and are continuing up the coast of the gulf.
We had a chance to go ashore on Tête à Baleine and wandered on the rock and tundra for an hour or so and tasting the partridge berries and bake-apple berries. There was a desolate sort of beauty to the place.
At Harrington Harbour we walked around the village on roads made of timber and rock, no cars here, just boats and ATVs to get around on the land or water. Like most places up here the houses are built right on the bedrock.
Back on the boat there isn’t much to do besides read and sleep which makes a nice break from always being on the go.
