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.

How big is your sailboat, Don?

I can't believe that tiny boat has a berth! *Who would sleep in that? *I
saw the term micro-cruiser yet it sleeps four? *Where?

My friend had a slip right at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge,
kinda expensive. Here in N. FL, one can get a good house very cheap
and I bought when they were really cheap so my mortgage is probably
about 1/4 of the least expensive place you could get in SF.
