Days 4 1/2 to 10 - Rimouski to Halifax

David Butcher

Set sail from Rimouski with fair winds but not for long. We motored around the Gaspé Peninsula and sailed south to Percé Rock. Very light winds so we motored to the Northumberland Strait and under the Confederation Bridge at 4 am. Fair winds out of the strait and into the Canso Strait. Passed through the lock at 4 am. Winds picked up coming out of the strait. Following winds at 20-25 knots and 1-3 metre waves ended the trip with some great sailing.
