We’ve anchored in Tadoussac this morning and I must say I am quite excited. I have talked with Pontgrave (our captain), and a few other fellows about venturing up river to see what lies ahead. I have been told of some rapids further on, but I believe they are far enough up that we can still make some progress whilst not getting ourselves into danger. We have been stocking up on provisions as of late, water and fish mainly. Our miniature voyage should commence shortly, within the week if that. I have been busy since we landed as there is much to do and I do not know when I’ll be able to write again, but I will try.
