Orleans Island and Quebec City Harbour





On the following day we did a circle tour of Ile d'Orleans, a beautiful island just down river from Quebec City. An ocean sailing race from Quebec City to France had left the day before and we were able to see the yachts moving down river in very light winds and at times adverse tides. Parked beside the road, was a very early (1930ies) snowmobile built by Mr. Bombardier, the forerunner of the current Bombardier Company. On returning to the city we had a quick tour around the harbour/yacht basin.
