A Whale of a Tale

The tough ride of this day was topped with a 'whale watching cruise' aboard the Love Boat. Into the Gulf of St. Lawrence we charted calm waters in search of whales.  We were entertained along the way by our co-captain who described in words and gestures the various differences in the many types of whales that we could see.
While we failed to find any whales, we enjoyed great company, glorious scenery and a couple beer along the way.
On an poignant note, Tim Horton's donated a bus for our group to travel from our tent site to the cruise. Our driver, Willis, had driven the group last year and insisted on completing his volunteer commitment to these riders this year, despite having lost his mother that afternoon
