CRUISE DAY 5 - EXPLORING THE GULF OF SAINT LAWRENCE 

We were supposed to choose between kayaking and zodiac tours, but weather and a maritime rescue prevented us from either. As we were entering this protected harbor, the captain saw a man alone in a small fishing boat waving his arms in distress. The cruise director (Mike) and one of the naturalists (Alyson) were dispatched by zodiac to provide assistance. Turns out the poor fellow had forgotten his gas can and had run out of fuel. He was anchored in the middle of the harbor for several hours until we showed up. Mike and Alyson towed him back to his dock, and we headed for our next destination. It was too windy and choppy for kayaking and zodiac tours.

Rescue tow in process.
