2004 Cruise:
snipped bits were here
July 17h Departed Anchorage about 1100 and sailed the Lake toward the Iona
Narrows, furled sails for the bascule bridge and then resumed sailing
toward
Great Bras D¹or under genoa and Mizzen, changing to spinnaker for the long
run to the sea under the Otter Harbor bridge, arriving Sydney at darkness.
We tested the MARPA functions of the radar on several powerboats that were
paralleling our course finally finding the Royal Cape Breton Yacht Club in
the Southern Arm after dark. Our arrival was met at 2200 by Tom the dock
steward who graciously welcomed us.

July18th: changed crew with Marion departing and Rose arriving, and doing
some necessary maintenance on the steering and rig, tuning and lubricating
and getting the masts in line. Planning for the trip to the Magdalenes
and
PEI.

Shoot, I spent the day working around the house. I should have dropped down
to the RCBYC to see who was around. And of course I work in the building
two doors down form the yacht club so was around Monday the 19th as well.

July19th: Layday in Sydney, provisioning and finding a replacement shower
head, no stainless steel fasteners were to be found in walking distance
nor
a tap wrench at any of the five autoparts stores in the block of George
street. A great steak dinner at the Royal Cape Breton YC for $9.95 each
and
we were off to bed.

See above, you should have called me if you had my numbers aboard. Home
Hardware (sort of walking distance) has a selection of SS fasteners. And
then there is Central Supplies and Canadian Tire, not really walking
distance but if you knew someone in town with a car...Oh well, maybe next
time...

Hey Ken... Any idea where a sailor can get a copy of Silver Donald
Cameron's video of cruising the Bras d'Or lakes??

If you just want to see the video, the local (Cape Breton Regional) library
has several copies.

Cape Breton's Bras d'Or lakes [videorecording]. 917'.169'Cap' CBR

As do the following Halifax area branches:

Keshen Goodman Public Library,
Alderney Gate Public Library,
Bedford Public Library,
Spring Garden (Two Copies),
Captain William Spry Public Library,
J. D. Shatford Public Library,
Musquodoboit Harbour Public Library,
Halifax North Memorial Library,
Woodlawn Public Library

I don't know him personally but I found his email and phone numbers if you
want to call and ask him directly how to purchase a copy. I'd rather not
post numbers them here but I'll email them to you.

I just finished his "next" sailing book after "Wind, Whales and
Whisky: A Cape Breton Voyage." It's called "Sniffing the Coast: An
Acadian Voyage", Toronto: Macmillan Canada, 1993, and it was as
entertaining as the Cape Breton book. He's quite a character, even if
he namedrops Farley Mowat a bit much.

Regardless, he's added the "Acadian Sea" to my "future cruising" list.

Hi Marc,

My friend with the '74 Viking 33 (and his wife) just got back from a
short trip to the Magdaline Islands. 11 hours from Bay St. Lawrence in
northern Cape Breton to the islands, mostly close hauled to a beam reach.
Four days at the Marina to the south at La Grave??. Nine hours for the trip
back to Bay St. Lawrence, again close hauled to a beam reach to a broad
reach toward the end, but more wind, about 20 knots. Seeing up to 9 knots
boat speed surfing down the waves. Big bow wave but no complaints about the
ride, they had fun.

Excellent. Please pass them my congratulations...I guess maybe I worry
too much about the tenderness of the Viking 33 in a seaway...I just
assume it would snap about uncomfortably in heavy ocean (or Gulf) air.
Maybe I worry too much.

Due to family illness and time constraints, I STILL haven't got my
rebuilt Atomic 4 back into the boat...not that I seem to have time for
much more than club racing this year, so I'm glad to hear that old
Viking 33s like mine are still out there surfing off the waves. I've
hit 8 knots surfing off six foot waves, but then I've only got what
Lake Ontario produces by way of fetch G

But I have installed new batteries, fabricated and installed midship
cleats (nice for spring lines), fixed my Zodiac's outboard, installed
running lights and a battery on same tender, and have a new-to-me
recut Kevlar No. 1 to match the brand new cruising spinnaker I pray I
will use at least once this year....

I think what I really need is sculling oars and a mooring....,G...

Thanks Ken...I'll whip my bicycle out & pedal down to Spring Garden Road to
see if I can borrow a copy.
pls send Cameron's e-mail address to

Ken thanks for the offer, I had your contacts but when crew decided to fly,
I forgot to call. I got the fasteners at Leo Leblanc's in Cap Aux Meules, a
very nicely equipped store on the front end of a "Cape and Islands" boat
builder.
