Baby Beluga, Baby Beluga... now we have seen how your mamma & papas make you ;-) Today we also saw dolphins, minke whales, and grey seals. Our whale watching tour this morning (9:00 at the pier; 9:30-1:00 tour) included two unique sightings: Belugas mating in the wild, and dozens and dozens of grey seals (over 60) feeding on a sudden supply of fish, while four large minke whales surfaced in the near distance - B took some good photos of the sightings. Some of the sightings (Beluga dance & minki whales) were near Rivière-du-Loup, and some sightings (grey seals & more minki whales) were near the marine park Tadoussac. After a good stop at the marine park we headed back to Rivière-du-Loup and again saw minki whales, as well as dolphins. No blue whales on our trip today, however two were seen on a tour two days ago. We walked into town from the pier (5.2Km walk; cross-training B calls it) and picked up some things for dinner after checking on our bikes (they are replacing Y's chain, which has done over 4,000Kms & is a bit stretched). This evening, B worked on the blog sidebar topic regarding our bike gear. (N.B. & FYI: We would not replace our Brooks saddles for anything - we think - and Y thanks Jonathan & Stacy for pointing out why they like their Brooks saddles. They are burnished leather and so slide a bit; they conform to ones own form; they rest against the sit bones so do not compress other tender flesh; and they are solid, so all the energy of the leg push goes into the peddle, and is not absorbed by the cush of a soft seat. As with other types of bike seats, Brooks saddles are female and male versions.)
