This is our second visit to Quebec's Iles-de-la-Madeleine, the islands in the Gulf of the St Lawrence ... a 5 hour ferry ride from Prince Edward Island. We were here In 2006 along with Sue and Jim Curtis. This time we have 6 full days to photograph (weather permitting).

 
Once more we checked the weather forecast. It's really easy. Auberge Denis a Francois has a fine Secure Wireless Internet service for our use. That makes it easy to keep Portcullis* up-to-date ... and also to check the weather for the next day. Today they forecast sun, about 16C in the morning with afternoon showers. We started with sunshine and it stayed with us until after we were back in the Auberge at 4:00 pm. Tonight will be overcast and rainy, as will tomorrow. We have already had 5 days of photography so if rain makes tomorrow a laundry and Art Gallery day that'll be OK. On Sunday we board the ferry for PEI at about 7:00 am. That'll be an early start for us!
