Roger,

Last summer I took the trip from Shelburne to Sydney through the Bras d
Or. Wonderful trip.

This summer I hope to make it to St. Pierre - and back. It was my first
sail (excepting that unfortuante incident in a Sunfish down in Belize.)
I made it, single handed, in a 33' 20 year old steel boat I bought
in Shelburne.

Liverpool I could miss. Lunenburg was very neat. Stayed a couple of
days at the RNSYS in Halifax. Too far out of town for sight seeing.
Then up to Sheet Harbour, Barra Straight (got caught against a nasty
steel bulkhead for a day.) Then a few nice days in Washabuck River
before going on to Sydney to put her on the hard at the North Sydney
Yacht Club. Great place. Burned down a couple of years ago, they have
rebuilt the bar, are working on the docks. Great sense of priorities.

Next year - maybe Bonavista Bay and my Grandparents home.

In the mean time, if you need a quick fix, try this site.

Help! There’s a big blank spot on my web portal page where the links
to all the aviation forums and other stuff used to be. It’s too cold
to work on the boat. I need to think about sailing and cruising.

Come on, somebody start something!

My dreams for the future now revolve around that trip to Nova Scotia,
around Newfoundland and over to Labrador in a few years. High mist
shrouded cliffs and unspoiled wildness appeal to me much more than the
heat and over development of the southern lands.

Has anybody else here been up that way?
