Carnet de voyage - Îles-de-la-Madeleine

Return from the Magdalens to Montréal via Matane on the Voyageur. I had a nice encounter with François Tassé, who is an actor, and Rémi Arsenault, former captain of the Voyageur and now retired, 70 years old.

It is a full moon. Earlier, after a hearty meal and a very good bottle of wine, Entre-deux-Mers, I went up on deck. I felt the full force of the Saint Lawrence with this icy wind and my friend the moon. On the left there is the coastline and all this brightness on the sea. On the shore, the houses lit up in this darkness; it is magnificent.
