Ken,
Two questions:
Is the swing bridge at St. Peter still swung by two men on a capstan?

no! it is powered and one man who leaves the station to turn the switch
and it rotates to lay par~ll to the canal.
It is FREE to transit but schedule must be checked to insure they are open
when you want to transit...seasonally that is.

Can a sailboat still make it through the Bras d'Or to the east and out
at St Andrew's?

Yes, under the SealIsl bridge.
VERY VERY beautiful trip to Ingonish, Aspy Bay, Bay St Lawrence, etc.
