Great pics. Nice to see a mooring field with mainly sailboats, Mahone Bay
looks like a really cool place.


Thanks John... Yeah, it's a great place to sail as well. Just outside the
bay is a semi sheltered region full of islands [they claim over 300] with
open ocean just beyond. It's within a daysail of most attractions like Oak
Island [Pirate Treasure], Lunenburg [ World Heritage site & home of the
Bluenose II] Chester [Chester Race Week], Peggy's Cove and Halifax as well
is a day sail away.

The town of Mahone Bay is famous and has been well preserved to reflect it's
heritage and architecture. Lots of small shops, great restaurants and
excellent bars.

Nothing like sippin' your first cuppa-jo with scenery like that to gaze on.

If you ever make it down this way... let me know. We can arrange for a sail
and a beer.
