We are in the Gulf of St Lawrence now, heading to Sept Iles and will be there in the morning.  At midday the Captain announced that due to the environment and because there have been some accidents to wildlife in the Gulf recently we would now be travelling at 10 knots per hour!  It feels like we are on Pop-Eye on the Torrens!!! But if it saves a whale or dolphin from being injured then that has to be good. Have still only seen 1 whale in nearly 4 weeks however.

The galley was open for a walk through buffet again today.  All very nice with plenty of choices. We played our last games of mahjong this afternoon, the American girl, Janine, is captivated by our version of the game.  One lady came over to investigate at one point and asked what we were playing.  Told her, & she said 'but you don't have any sheets'. She just couldn't believe us when told we were playing Aussie rules with a touch of NZ.  She then said she's only ever heard of American and Jewish mahjong!  When she left we all fell apart laughing & I told Janine she was smart not to open her mouth or she might have been reported to the Association of US Mahjonggers LOL!!!

At 5.30 there's a drinks party for the Australians and New Zealanders. 

Sept-Îles (French for "Seven Islands") is a city in the Côte-Nord region of eastern Quebec, Canada. It is the northernmost town in Quebec with any significant population. It is among the northernmost locales with a paved connection to the rest of Quebec's road network.The population is 25,686 according to the 2011 census, with an added population of around 3000 Native Americans living in the Uashat mak Mani-Utenam Indian Reserve located in the city.

The only settlements on the paved road network that are farther north are Fermont, Radisson and Chisasibi, the latter two in the extreme western portion of the province at the north end of the James Bay Road. The remaining settlements at higher latitudes in the province are mostly isolated Cree, Innu, or Inuit villages, with access limited to seasonal gravel roads. We have a couple of tours booked but more about that tomorrow.

Back now from the drinks, dinner and the show.  The comedian was appalling, he was on a few days ago & bad then but thought it might just have been me so gave him another chance.  Guess some people can laugh at anything.  No pics at the moment.
