It has been way too long, I really want to get back there some one of
these days. Even if it is too early in the year for the oysters to be
any good.
Thank you Cape Islanders

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.
