End of season .... we had 5 very nice days of sailing in the islands, enjoying the changing colours among the trees, and went swimming. 

Unfortunately, the time has come to prepare the boat for her winter storage.  We will be using the next few days of sun to paint the wood, do some minor rust work and unload the boat.

While I was making coffee, I took this shot.  By the time I had the camera out, the fog had almost disappeared.

Quebec ... here we come!

Our life raft had to be serviced .. and the place was north of Quebec City.  A 6 hour drive from here (Kingston, ON).

So, we decided to make it a vacation.

And it was a great one.

Quebec City ...

St. Lawrence River images, it is where all it started!

Our friends ...

past ...

and then

 

  an me (H) in the wilderness!

 

And we had a great long hike to the top of this cliff, with a great lunch, which we had (wisely) taken along.  If you look carefully, you might see us between the trees at the drop off ...

 

 

Overall, it was a great land based vacation!  With a delightful stay in Laval at M's sister on the way back to Kingston.
