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


I can probably help with this part if it comes to pass. There are several
small yacht clubs in Sydney Harbour, Dobson is probably your best bet for
winter storage. There are quite a few who sail this far and then store at
Dobson for the winter, some just leave their boat here for several years and
come to sail every summer. the Bras d'Or Lakes system is good for a week or
more (or a summer) of gunkholing.
