Our travels since our last post have brought us back up the St. Lawrence River as far as Montreal. We plan to spend at least a week here because it’s one of our favourite cities, with many things to do.
Stops along the way from Tadoussac included Saint-Jean-Port-Joli, a small town on the south shore about 50 miles downriver from Quebec City, Levis (right across the river from Quebec City), Trois Rivieres again, and a surprisingly quiet anchorage on the Saint Lawrence only 5 miles from downtown Montreal.
Although we have driven through a good portion of the area before, completing our ‘St. Lawrence Loop’ – about 625 miles – provided us with a much richer image of the river and the region. The ‘on-the-water’ experience added a new perspective that one does not get from land. It also gave us a better understanding of the river’s significant influence on our country.
Upon reflection, gaining new perspectives that add to or change our pre-conceived notions is true for all for our travels aboard His Idea. It’s one of the rewards of cruising that we have come to highly value and enjoy.
wow, what a fabulous trip. Just went on-line now so we had a lot of catching up to do. And both of you look so trim and healthy, must be all that hard work on the boat
It’s good to hear from you and that you have caught up with us through the blog. We are indeed enjoying a more active and healthy lifestyle, and feeling better for it.
Hope you’re enjoying the summer, either in Vancouver or down south. We’ll look forward to catching up with you when we get back, which will likely be by the end of September.
I see a lot of interesting content on your website.

just caught up after not being online for awhile… busy camping in our ‘new’ trailer! Looks like you’re still having a great time! Happy travels!
Thanks Doug, we are for sure having a good time.
Hope you and Roslyn are enjoying your vacation time too. Send us some pictures when you get a chance.

Hi Anne,
I just discovered I sent the previous response to your brother by mistake. Mush is what happens to one’s brain when you’ve been away too long!
Please send some pictures of your trip (to jaevans100@gmail.com) if you get a chance. It would be fun to see them.
Cheers,
John and Ria
