Recap - Day two

I woke up late in the morning although my sleep was disrupted by the high winds, apparently 82km per hour in some places. Luckily I was in a sheltered location. I was still worried because I was planning to take down the tent and carry the bag to town, I had had several warnings about living my belongings alone. However I wasn't sure if I could manage to keep the tent from blowing away, and whether I could carry the bag to the city, I was very dehydrated. I had drunk approx. 250ml of water, in the past two days, as well as a number of beers Montreal which doesn't help. I packed up anyway, ate some sardines. After 15 minutes a couple of young men in a pick truck asked if I need a lift, I obliged. 30 seconds later I was downtown at a pay phone. I immediately made contact with Brian Burrows the interim rector of the Cathedral. I learned that he had been the rector in the 1960's, before the old cathedral, which has since been destroyed was built. He invited me to the office where I got to meet Captain Cyrus Blanchet. Brian, kindly put up for the evening and I have stayed there since.
