Default Sailing Nova Scotia

In a couple of weeks I shall set sail for a two month cruise along the south
shore of Nova Scotia. The plan is to sail straight across from Maine to
Yarmouth and then day sail along the south and east shore. We hope to get up
as far as the Bras d'Or lakes and then back home. We have done the Bay of
Fundy side in previous trips.

Any thoughts?



Stock up on spare parts as chandleries are hard to come by. Shelburne
has a Vernon d Eon. Mostly fishing type stuff.

I got to Lunenburg when theirs was closing due to bankruptcy. I think
the Binnacle has bought it now.

Halifax has the Binnacle, but it is a long walk from the RNSYC.

There is a place in Baddeck in the Bra dOr lakes.

North Sydney has a Vernon dEon and not much else. But it is right at
the North Sydney yacht club. Nice people both at the club and the
store. North Sydney is just down the coast from the Newfoundland Ferry
docks and convenient. The town is not much to speak of.
