--- On the return leg the southerly wind had increased to about 10 knots. You can see how much our sailboat was leaning as it made quick progress with both sails unfurled.

VISITING QUEBEC FRIENDS NEAR MONTREAL CANADA

Montreal Canada is only a couple of hours North of Shelburne VT. We traveled there to visit our friends from Quebec. We met them last year during our Summer in Quebec and had a great time together. Here they are with Teri in front of their new Fifth Wheel in their Summer site near Montreal. Behind them is a field of pretty yellow Cannola flowers. Teri brought the chocolate mouse desert.

--- Nicole prepared T-bone grilled steaks for us in her own RV kitchen. For desert we had the chocolate mouse cake and we shared a bottle of French wine. This is the dining area in their new Fifth Wheel. Real and Nicole stay near Montreal in the Summer. Their grown children live in the area. In the winter they live in central Florida in their Florida RV.

--- This is a "balansoir" or similar. It is quite popular in Quebec. We had never seen it before until we arrived in Quebec. Here people sit with their friends and chat for hours as they rock in their front garden. As you can see the table rocks together with the seats so they play cards or hav their wine glasses on the table as they rock. Sometimes they have a flower vase on the table. Teri and Real (pronounced with the stress on the last silable) are to the left.
