Quebec couple sails from Quebec to Pine Point in 19 foot sloop
Andrew Grenier and Odette Legault left Quebec City in July aboard the Ti-Clin a 19 foot homemade sloop without power or radio. They navigated the St Lawrence Gulf of St Lawrence and Bay of Fundy facing heavy seas and high winds seeking warmer South America. In Pine Point they were sheltered by Ed Goodrich who fed them before they pressed on. Grenier plans to winter in Boston or Martha’s Vineyard and return to Quebec, aiming to finish the voyage to South America next year. The pair reported hospitality from coastal communities and recounted a tense radar scare in dense fog involving a tanker.
