Les Escoumins

[artw]

Just wondering if there would be any interest in taking an OFWF trip to Les Escoumins 3 1/2hrs north of Quebec City. which makes it about 10 hours away from the rest of us.

Les Escoumins is the point in which the St Lawrence river turns into the Atlantic ocean. so it's saltwater/freshwater mix and cold! 2C year around apparently. there is lots of fish and sealife like anenomes and nudibranches apparently. I read rumours on some websites that the lodge onsite is being reopened by Parks Canada on Jun 25.

well I'll be going up there for sure sometime in July. if anyone wants to share gas

There's also a fast ferry close by that will take you into Rimouski where you can dive the Nipegon.

It would depend on when in July, exactly, as I have several balls in the air at this time. I would tend to think I won't be able to tag along, fun though it sounds...... if anything changes I'll let you know.

PS. Art, which ship is that in your avatar? I'm not accustomed to recognizing them above water...........
