As no one is offering current information I'll come forward with 5 years old
comments.
Most people coming from the US get directly to Shelburne N.S. Your timing is
important as it involve overnight passage. At the time, no diesel fuel was
available on the dock at Shelburne Marina. Fuel was available at about 10 -
15 minutes walk. You need a proven sail plan that has been tested before.
The people that have done the passage at the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht
Squadron should be able to offer you some advise. The last time I was in
Shelburne the Canadian Coast Guard had to go rescue a US sailboat that had
no engine power in a flat sea. After landing at Shelburne it was learned
that dirt was in the diesel tank and had block the fuel to the engine.

I am planning a trip to Nova Scotia this summer and will be sailing from
Maine across to Yarmouth and then up the outside shore as far as we will
get
before we have to go back to work. Two weeks are planned.

I would like to have any information on diesel stops and boatyards near
the
Yarmouth area where the boat could be left for a couple of weeks in the
event of bad weather. The contingency plan is to take the Cat back to
Maine
and go back for the boat two weeks later.

I have charts and the cruising guide by the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht
Squadron
but would appreciate current info from residents or recent visitors.

Thanks
