Motorsailing up the St Lawrence River. Gale force winds, then rain and fog, then less wind and some sun. Its so wide we can't see either shore.
An orca sighting, but I missed it.
Of course, the wind is on the nose from the southwest once again and we are also fighting the current. Because there is a relatively narrow west bound shipping lane that we are confined to we are tacking back and forth within the lane to get a bit of angle on the wind and thereby gain a little speed. Currently, we are doing only 2-4 knots. This should improve when we reach a turn in the river and have the wind in a more favorable direction.
