Roger ,, lots of good tours, cruises listed.

I would pass on the Bay of Fundy though. The fog is a killer.

The area at the entrance of the St Lawrence River .. look up Yves Gélinas.
He is the sailor who sells the Capehorn Windvane.. at the web site below
is a written record of he and his gal pal on their way to Ireland. On
"JEAN-DU-SUD" , his famous Alberg 30!

You sure do have some ambitious trips planned.
================================================== ============================

My dream trip, maybe next year ??? ... Off to the south. Follow the
ditch to Florida.

Governor's Harbour, Eleuthera, Bahamas. That is where I'm heading. Florida
to Bahama's, and Governor's Harbour.

{At some 300 years old, Governor's Harbour is the island's oldest
settlement, reportedly the landing place of the Eleutherian Adventurers. The
largest town on Eleuthera after Rock Sound, it lies midway along the
161km-long (100-mile) island; its airport is likely to be your gateway to
the island.

The town today has a population of about 1,500, with some bloodlines going
back to the original settlers, the Eleutherian Adventurers, and to the
Loyalists who followed some 135 years later. Many old homes line the streets
amid the bougainvillea and casuarina trees."}

Roger ,, Governor's Harbor, Eleuthera. Warm breeze, the water so clear it
is amazing. The friendliest people on earth. ...

I hope all your cruising dreams come true!



Me? Heading for the south, no more fog.



ps. my boat is slow. Yes, that is true. But I don't care. Slow and
steady.

Since I sail alone, going slow is an advantage. It gives me more time to
screw up!

tell us more of this big trip.


Strange that one who keeps his name, boat name, and boat type so hidden
wants to know all the details of my life
It's just winter dreaming at this point because the extent of work and
family commitments for next summer are not determined yet. However, absent
the usual caveats such as health and asteroid strikes, plans for
subsequent years are as firm as they can be.

Quick tour of the high points of the Maine coast past Penobscot Bay

Bay of Fundy up to St. Johns and the St. Johns river.

Across to Nova Scotia and up to the Eastern Tip.

Leave boat for the winter or Bermuda to Charleston if we are able to get
back to Maine first.

West Coast of Newfoundland and some of the Labrador coast.

North, East, and South coasts of Newfoundland.

Prince Edward Island and St. Lawrence.

Iceland and Scotland? Why not?
