We've not been here before, so we really wanted to get off the ship and wander about. We held off until about 11:30, then decided to brave the weather and give it a shot. Well ..
The wind was so strong that we actually had difficulty making it to the terminal building. Part way there, about the equivalent of a half block's distance, we took refuge behind a small building and decided to turn back: we were wet, our glasses were impossible to see through, and the wind was almost knocking us over.
Along comes a young woman from the Port of Saguenay to our hidey-hole. She tells us to wait for the golf cart that is shuttling people from the dock to the terminal building. So we did.
This nice man, also from the Port, helped Tom onto the cart and wiped off the back seat for me (a wasted effort, I must say). We arrived at the terminal building in seconds. Once there, we looked around, but chickened out about going further into town. We caught the golf cart back to the ship and the warmth and safety of our room.
There are two other cruise ships in port, both of them at anchor. Glad we didn't have to tender to shore!
