The cheery tone of my cell phone alarm was quite infuriating this morning as I had to arise a half hour earlier than normal. A half hour of sleep is a gift, it's like when you wake up early and look at your clock and say "YES! More time." It's one of those things you really appriciate when you don't have it.
Anyways, I dragged myself out of bed and make it to work for 7:30. I had to be there early so that we could catch the ferry from St-Simeone (an hour from Tadoussac) across the St-Lawrence to Riviere-du-Loup.
Now you may be asking yourself, "Kelly, I've carefully studied the map of the Marine Park and Riviere-du-Loup does not lie within its boundries. Whatever were you doing there?" Well, this is what I was doing there:
Beauty, isn't she? This is the l'Alliance, the Parks Canada boat. It was being fixed in Riviere-du-Loup so I came along for the ride to bring her back. Luckily, it was a sunny day and we got her into the water quick (I helped!). I felt like a waterbound, not as awesome, Indiana Jones. As we were bringing her out onto the fleuve, I was standing on the top deck, camera at the ready and raring to go.
Here is what I looked like:
You may have noticed my extremely fashionable yellow jacket. It is actually more than just a regular jacket, it is a coat and life jacket all in one. Technology, I tell you.
Along with the orange helmet from yesterday's post I think that I have a strong future as a runway model.
Since I hadn't actually see the Haut Font Prince; Tadoussac's famous lighthouse (or phare re:French word of the day) we passed by it. Here it is.
And just for kicks, here are some pics:
Captain Kelly (I wasn't actually driving)
On shore leave?
