Don there are 365 islands in the bay about half of them are occupied and the rest are usually
open for camping hiking ect., just as you leave the town of Mahone Bay there is Andrews
Island perfect for your friend good anchorage.

Now that would be quite a ride to explore all those Mahone Bay islands on. I
plan on launching my Yukon from the public ramps on Graves Island and
downtown Mahone Bay this summer. I was talking to the guy from Mahone
Islands Conservation Assoc at the boat show and we feel I'll be ok with a
15' open aluminum boat if I stay fairly close to the western shore...
especially in the afternoon when the SW winds pickup.
Ran into a old buddy of mine at Fort Olgivile in Point Pleasant Park while
walking the dog Monday.
He's making plans to sail his CL16 from Lunenburg and into Mahone Bay for
exploring this summer. You may have read of his open dingy sail from
Shearwater Yacht Club to his boyhood home in Pirates Cove, Strait of Canso
1.5 years ago.

Any advice on good anchoring/overnight camping spots for him?
