Hello to all,
For my third year in Quebec, I am going once again on the boats to work with cetaceans.
Only this time, I will not be in research like last year, but basically as a boat captain. The type of boat are inflatables similar to zodiacs.
The new thing to navigate is to get additional and mandatory certificates to pilot along the coast. This is a problem that requires me to go through training in order to be compliant with the - Canadian Coast Guard -.
In any case, I would be in Northern Quebec, in - Upper North Shore -after the village of Tadoussac, with the community Innu Essipit where some 200 natives live in a reserve on the St. Lawrence River.
The company - Essipit Cruises - has been around for a long time.
As usual, I will not be able to take care of my website during the whole season because I start on June 2nd until the end of September.
I'll be back with photos and comments on my work at sea.
You can count on me.
With kind regards.
Montreal - Canada - May 2008.
