Rimouski to Matane 20 August 2016

Marc-  08:00 departure for Matane.  We started out with no wind but the last two hours were a terrific sail with southwest winds of 15-20 knots.  Arrived at 16:30 and we were welcomed by the staff.  Then we were off to the local restaurant for a Shrimp (Crevettes) and pasta dinner.  Matane is famous for its Shrimp complete with a fleet and a processing plant.  Excellent dinner with Richard and Gregoire while watching the Rio Olympics.  The engine ran fine but is not returning to idle when coming into port.  I am thinking that a spring may have broken or something.  I later discovered that the cable lock had become loose.  I tightened this up with a little help from my friend Richard (he is amazing at diagnosing problems).
