A cruising family finds their most remote cruising grounds yet on the untamed northeastern coast of Quebec.
The charts we bought in Newfoundland for the St Lawrence River have a neat feature: a letter inside a little diamond leads you to a table in the margin that tells you what the current will be doing just there at each stage of the tide.
“The further we go, the more expensive winter storage gets, and this late in the season all the marinas and yards are shutting down. If we’re going to fail and have to leave the boat behind until spring, we’re better off getting an early start on that…”
It was strange to think that we were in the remotest coast we’d been yet, accessible only by boat—when the ice allowed—and bush plane.
After a summer spent cruising in the sparsely populated regions of the Canadian Maritimes, the Zartman family is scraping the bottom of the lockers aboard Ganymede.
