Which cities have ocean access?
I'm very new to boating/sailing and want to move to a place where I will be
close to water with ocean access. I have not been able to find a comprehensive list of U.S. (or global) cities or towns with ocean access. I assume all cities on the ocean have access (or at least are near access), but what about towns like Burlington, VT - can I sail north to the Saint Lawrence or south down the Hudson and reach the ocean? Could I get back the same way? What about Bangor, ME? Rochester, NY (and other Great Lake towns)? etc. Do I have to pay to use locks or would I have free access? Which channels are navigable by sail versus which need power? For any given town, I can look up if it has ports, but it's often hard to tell if there is a 2-way route to sea. Also, I'm trying to find a list of all towns with access, not just one at a time. Maybe I just need a good set of charts which shows river currents and depth. Would they also show ports? Is there a good book on cities with ocean access? Are there other factors I need to consider in selecting a city/town with a port? Thanks so much, Colin |

Thanks so much, Colin Aimee, from Burlington VT, the easiest way is down the Canals (free), down the Hudson, and out into the Ocean. I have not gone up North yet but a few have. However, (either way) sailboats are required to drop their masts (most pick Westport NY and raise them in Kingston NY). I have not done it on my sailboats but my son and I went down by powerboat. Abusing ourselves (leaving my home in Malletts Bay at 7:30 AM to reach the canals at 10 AM and getting yelled at by the lock meisters who figure out your speed by your passage times, it takes a minimum of two very hard days to reach the ocean. On a sailboat, figure three - four. Most sailors motor from Whitehall NY (or even before) to NYC because the Hudson (and the entrance to Whitehall) is not the widest of rivers and some places are dwarfed by mountains (e.g., Bear Mountain area) Unlike the other towns you mention, although our sailing (and boating season is short (Late May - October) I would assert we have one of the most beautiful boating regions in the country (nestled between two mountain ranges), fresh water (better for swimming and boat maintenance), great cruising, and no fog. harlan -- To respond, obviously drop the "nospan"? |

Many "boating/sailing" enthusiasts spend their entire lives just messin' around on lakes and bays and are none the worse for it. The other variable of course is that what is "ocean access" to a Sandpiper or a Shark or some other trailer sailer might be something else entirely to a larger boat. Also, the type of tides and riverine currents you might have in a certain area (Saint John, N.B. comes to mind) would dictate what type of boat vs. what degree of access. Duluth is "ocean accessible" in that sense, but you have to be a decent sailor in a well-found boat to traverse the first few hundred miles of Lake Superior, which is likely to have more severe conditions than anything you'd encounter before the Atlantic. By contrast, consider the Amazon. I believe sailboats can go over 1,000 miles up it from the Atlantic delta without trouble and with adequate draft (if you can figure out its ever-changing meanders and avoid snagging on trees on its banks, I suppose). The last thing to consider is whether you wish to use locks or not. Many people on the Great Lakes lock down the Erie and the Hudson to New York to reach the Atlantic, because at a few hundred miles of mastless cruising and locking is vastly easier and takes weeks and weeks less time than going out the St. Lawrence, around Nova Scotia and past most of New England and is not for the inexperienced or those on a schedule. (Although it's no doubt the better trip...) R. |
Which cities have ocean access?
Definitely a possibility, but I have sailed with my father up from the
Caribbean on a ~35' Hunter. I'm pretty sure I'd like to repeat that trek a few more times in my life (let me stress that at this point, I'm a novice and totally unqualified for such a trip, but I hope to gain experience in a safe environment and build up to that). I can also imagine wanting to try something longer one day too. I said "boating/sailing" in part because of the name of the newsgroup and in part because I don't yet have a boat, but yes I intend to sail. I want to find a home first, boat second. :-) Thanks, Colin "Armond Perretta" wrote in message ...

I need to work, but I can do much of my consulting work remotely. I also
want a place that has snow cover most of the winter, culture within a couple hour drive, etc. So, as you can see, I want to cross reference several factors in looking for a good home. Because I'm a novice, I'm quite ignorant on whether certain cities have ocean access or not and how easy it is to get to and from the ocean from those ports. I want to find out so I can limit my other searches to towns or cities where I might have a slip off the end of my yard or within a reasonably short drive. You said a single book could cover just Nova Scotia. What if we limited it to just a list of major towns and cities with ocean access? Any suggestions?

Any new to boating/sailing person should even not think of going on the ocean without ample training including Power Squadron's course and maybe a course at one of the better sailing schools. And definition of ocean can always be argued. But the most fun I have had boating has been coastal ocean going off the coasts of Maine, Cape Cod and Rhode Island. So, I think you are right to want to consider that variable. If, however, you find a lake where you want to live without such access, you can always charter a boat or transport a boat to where you want. All will not be lost.

But why? The blossoming, beautiful and mostly ignored girl-next-door, Canada has begun turning some heads. And strangely enough, with such gorgeous and immense scenery, Canada warmly welcomes and graciously accepts more immigrants per capita annually than even the Untied States. And even more so than the US, Canadians seem to view their culture to be shaped by immigration. Advertisement How to make +61,438% on $650 Jerry writes...

If you plan on only residing in Canada for less than 6 months each year, you can open a bank account and buy real estate in most Canadian provinces. (But if you plan on living there for more than 6 months in a year, you must apply for Immigration Status.) Moreover, Canada especially encourages potential investors and in order to help this along, the government has instituted certain tax breaks and incentives for foreign investors. In the past 5 years Canada has outdone the US by recording an inflation rate of only 2.2%. And if you're not listening yet, better perk up! The OECD (Organization of for Economic Co-operation and Development) estimates Canada's growth to average 3.1% over the period of 2004-2006, the leader among G7 members. According to a report released November 2, 2005, employment in Canada has jumped by an est. 69,000 in October of this year, while the unemployment rate dipped to 6.6% (the lowest in 3 decades). With the hourly wages of employees increasing by 3.9% over the past year, Canada's boom time is approaching. The most growth in October 2005 happened among the private sector employee rate (+59,000), hitting a whopping 97,000 since the start of the year. But even more intriguing, the same 10 month period has seen self-employment grow by 87,000 (+3.5%). With lower overall business costs, Canada's labor costs range from about 20-24% lower than that of the US. And that's not all-Canada's construction and electricity costs are anywhere from 8-22% cheaper than the US. With a world class infrastructure, the lowest wireless communication costs, a positive (and ethical) business climate, a lower cost of living, untouched landscapes, friendly and honest people, extremely low crime rate, no estate or death tax-Canada's looking mighty attractive.

This province, nestled between the mainland (New Brunswick) and the North Atlantic Ocean, is an undiscovered northern paradise infused with Irish, English and Scottish history, not to forget Native Indian and French Creole cultural remnants. In fact, the well-known Creole cuisine (that Louisiana is so famous for) has its true roots in Nova Scotia. It was later when the English came to dominate the territory that the French culture and its people were forced to emigrate elsewhere-and ended up establishing themselves in Louisiana and throughout the Caribbean. Nova Scotia was the home of both the French Acadians and the Mi'kmag Native Indian tribe. And if you listen closely enough, you'll hear the unmistakable sound of a Scottish bagpiper or maybe even catch a glimpse of the unifying dances of the Mi'kmaq sweet grass rituals, an inspiring custom of this province's oldest inhabitants. The dynamic interplay between all of these astonishing multi-culture elements now graces Nova Scotia with a delightful blend of histories and traditions. The sea-coast traditions from so many old world cultures add spice and character to this hidden paradise; legends of pirates and other mystical entities are just some of the threads that create the patchwork of this enchanting culture. Nova Scotia has so much to offer: low cost of living, inexpensive real estate, unspoiled land, generous (and honest) people, lifestyles to suit every liking and famous residents including Paul Simon, Demi Moore and Jack Nicholson, just to name a few..

My New Oil Sands GIANT] The Discovery What I began to notice as I traveled north towards Cape Breton, was that Nova Scotia was experiencing, at this very moment, the Bust side of the economic cycle. This bust cycle is ready to boom. And every savvy investor waits for that bust time so that they can reap the benefits of the Boom. A recent report was released by Nova Scotia Department of Tourism, Culture and Heritage forecasting Nova Scotia's tourism industry. After assessing the decline in tourism since 2003, they went on to say "a report released in late 2004 entitled Long-Term Trends and Cycles in Canadian Tourism suggests that tourism activity follows a ten-year cycle, with peaks and troughs that mirror and exaggerate the Canadian business cycle..If the cycle persists, we should be at the start of a broad-based recovery that will see record growth over the next decade." In March of 2005, RBC Financial Group released a provincial economic forecast indicating that "healthy job numbers and strong fiscal performance will boost Nova Scotia's economic growth to 2.4% in 2005 and 2.8% in 2006." The report goes on to assert that "'Nova Scotia's economic outlook continues to build on the momentum generated in the second half of 2004,' said Craig Wright, vice-president and chief economists, RBC." Interestingly enough however, the housing market in Nova Scotia appears "to have reached a plateau." So, the Canadian economy (and tourist industry), employment, and wages are all beginning their rise, all while the housing industry stays at a steady pace. All I can hear from the voice in the back of my head is.BUY, BUY, BUY. How Does a Non-Resident Buy Property in Canada? Again, buying real estate in Canada is simpler than it may seem. There are so many ways in which you can go about buying property in Canada, so many different status categories you can apply for, and different tax stipulations (and more importantly, tax loopholes). Due to an overwhelming response of Wealth Daily readers inquiring to know more about Canadian land, real estate companies and investment opportunities, I will be releasing a Full Report Canadian Confidential: The Maritimes Project within the next 2 weeks here on Wealth Daily. This report will offer a serious overall scope on the Atlantic Provinces, why they seem so alluring, how to buy property in Canada without losing American citizenship, how to invest and protect your dollars in Canada, how to immigrate to Canada, and how Canada is the most unheard of Tax Haven, not to forget my personal recommendations for real estate companies in Canada that are selling land for pennies on the dollar.

I have not been able to find a comprehensive list of U.S. (or global) cities or towns with ocean access. I assume all cities on the ocean have access (or at least are near access), but what about towns like Burlington, VT - can I sail north to the Saint Lawrence or south down the Hudson and reach the ocean? Could I get back the same way? What about Bangor, ME? Rochester, NY (and other Great Lake towns)? etc. Do I have to pay to use locks or would I have free access? Which channels are navigable by sail versus which need power? For any given town, I can look up if it has ports, but it's often hard to tell if there is a 2-way route to sea. Also, I'm trying to find a list of all towns with access, not just one at a time. Maybe I just need a good set of charts which shows river currents and depth. Would they also show ports? Is there a good book on cities with ocean access? Are there other factors I need to consider in selecting a city/town with a port? Thanks so much, Colin Aimee, from Burlington VT, the easiest way is down the Canals (free), down the Hudson, and out into the Ocean. I have not gone up North yet but a few have. However, (either way) sailboats are required to drop their masts (most pick Westport NY and raise them in Kingston NY). I have not done it on my sailboats but my son and I went down by powerboat. Abusing ourselves (leaving my home in Malletts Bay at 7:30 AM to reach the canals at 10 AM and getting yelled at by the lock meisters who figure out your speed by your passage times, it takes a minimum of two very hard days to reach the ocean. On a sailboat, figure three - four. Most sailors motor from Whitehall NY (or even before) to NYC because the Hudson (and the entrance to Whitehall) is not the widest of rivers and some places are dwarfed by mountains (e.g., Bear Mountain area) Unlike the other towns you mention, although our sailing (and boating season is short (Late May - October) I would assert we have one of the most beautiful boating regions in the country (nestled between two mountain ranges), fresh water (better for swimming and boat maintenance), great cruising, and no fog. harlan -- To respond, obviously drop the "nospan"? Pop me a note if you manage to get up here. I'll buy you one of the decent local brews (the wines are just eh). harlan -- To respond, obviously drop the "nospan"? |

By contrast, consider the Amazon. I believe sailboats can go over 1,000 miles up it from the Atlantic delta without trouble and with adequate draft (if you can figure out its ever-changing meanders and avoid snagging on trees on its banks, I suppose). Err, The late Sir Peter Blake might disagree with the use of the words 'without trouble'... :-( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Blake_(yachtsman) rgds, Alan -- 99 Ducati 748BP, 95 Ducati 600SS, 81 Guzzi Monza, 74 MV Agusta 350 "Ride to Work, Work to Ride" SI# 7.067 DoD#1930 PGP Key 0xBDED56C5 |
