CLAUDE A. DESGAGNES is up bound on the St. Lawrence River this morning.

Thank you Steve great info. I heard she had a stop in Saguenay even with all that load.
She was quite difficult to catch in Quebec, this to do to with the usual discretion of Groupe Desgagnés! I hope our colleague in Saguenay will succeed to capture a photo of his, usually of great quality, of this ship under new colours in action and under a good light.

The Claude a Desgagnés went to grande-Anse. It's hard to get good photo at this place.

Just upload a photo took by my father at cap trinité yesterday.

Did he climbed up there in a hurry ? It is quite a challenge!
Even for a healthy man.

This was already plan to go there. It was a big surprise for him to see the ship going out of the saguenay river. The ship just past about one or two hour at Grande-Anse. A very quick stop.
