Nom should know about this.
Without any protected way to get from point A to B such as the ICW on
the east and Gulf coasts, isnt it a bit difficult to sail north up the
coast? Do people sail northwards near shore or do they all go
WAAAAAAAY offshore?

Since the Gulf Stream turns westward two hundred miles south of us...we
don't have that worry.
The Labrador current may affect boats up around northern Cape Breton, but
that's what we have the Bras d'Or lakes for.
Along our 'mainland' coast, people sail where they want to...out far
enough to avoid dangerous areas but not so far that ducking into numerous
small harbours for the night is difficult or time consuming.
You'd fit right in up here Froggy...the nicer marinas are few & far
between along the coast but every small community has a government wharf
for the commercial fishermen. If you like roughin' it...you could stay
anywhere at minimal or no cost for the night.

Here's some info on those wharves....
