Fair Jeanne August 17

Fair Jeanne left Quebec City yesterday around 0930 and spent most of the day sailing and doing sailing drills--even the OT's got to call setting and dousing.

They made Portneuf around 1830. Today the plan is to get underway and make it to Trois Rivieres and anchor for ship's concert.

Sail on!

Fair Jeanne Voyage C

Ahoy,

Fair Jeanne finally got underway Saturday morning at 0600hrs. Good progress was made as they were able to go about 80 nautical miles until high winds forced the boat to dock at Coco Landing, near Montreal. Sunday was another early morning as the boat was underway again by 0500hrs. The weather still was poor was the crew was able to put 94 nautical miles behind them before spending the night near Trois Riviers.

Today the crew has been battling high winds and was not able to make their goal of Quebec City but have docked instead about twenty miles short of there at Port Ness. They will wait for the storm to pass.

Despite the poor weather the crew and trainees all seem to be in good spirits as they get to know each other and the vessel they are now calling home.
