Trip to Cap-Saint-Jacques

• Our trip to Cap-Saint-Jacques was pretty smooth sailing. It took about 3 hours to get there and once we got there, the beach was beautiful. We played soccer and some volleyball as well as enjoy the water. The scenery on our way there and back was very beautiful as well.
