Day 17

Seems unreal that we have been nomading for 17 days. Now that we are stationary for a few days a routine has developed.
At 5AM Bert wakes up. At 5:15 he is back asleep, thankful not to be getting ready for work.
By 7 the day is underway, breakfast, then computer lessons and then cleaning the boat.mid afternoon has us off on a bicycle trip somewhere. Today's trip will be on a bird sanctuary bike trail that ends at a dairy farm that makes their own ice cream. Most days end up with us very hot and sticky, hence the shower then we watch NCIS before retiring. Most night we have rain showers as well as people showers.Devotions are a regular morning event.
Here in Sorel we speak French much of the time. We have found that in the smaller town most people have never heard of Maine. One man had heard of Maine, but thought that it was part ofNew Hampshire. Funny, We have been traveling for weeks  and are in a foreign land that is not completely facile with our language, geography or culture, yet we are only 4 hours away by auto.
On the St Lawrence there are many very big ships, and we are unable to scope out the small raft Chanel's without a GPS. Much of yesterday I learned how to download all the Naviocs charts and their GPS unto the IPad as a back up for the regular system that is being upgraded.
Our love to all our family and friends.
