Roger,

I'll be leaving for Maine and Nova Scotia in late May. I have RayMarine
radar and chart plotters on board so I will update C-MAP's NT+ C-205 which
includes: FUNDY, NOVA SCOTIA, PEI & CAPE BRETON. I also have a hand help
personal GPS that I use in the car and out hiking. It is a Garmin Etrex
Legend CX that uses the micro chips. I have Garmin's Mapsource on my PC so
I got the charts/maps by download from Garmin on the Internet. I've loaded
two SD Micro chips. One with east coast nautical charts and one with east
coast maps with all detail including route scheduling. This way I just swap
chips depending on the use.

If anyone knows of a good Chart Book of Nova Scotia I'd certainly be
intersted. I already have the "Cruising Guide to the Nova Scotia Coast".

Take care.

Roger,

We are in Augusta and have been across to Nova Scotia as well as a couple of
trips up the Bay to Grand Manan etc. I would be happy to compare notes and
give you whatever info I have for your crossing.

Merry Christmas

Captain Roger ,, when are you leaving for the Canada tour, cruise? I got to
thinking last night ... ???? Maybe I will join up and form a fleet.

I'm buying a Garmin 76Cx that takes the MicroSD preloaded chips. Any
pro's, cons, or opinons to buying the Canadian charts I'll need on CD vs
chips?

I'll also be buying paper for backup and trip planning. I won't have a
laptop on the boat where I'll be using the GPS display and charts together
(no comments on that please, it's another issue altogether).

Any good reason in that scenario to go with the CD instead of the
convienience of just sticking a chips in?

I don't do fleets; especially when I don't know someone's real name, boat
name, and only know the boat type because I stumbled across the "For Sale"
web listing.

As for joining up, I'm glad my E 32 can run away from a Bristol 32.

Happy Holiday though (really),

Roger ,, this reminds me of the famous scene in Butch Cassidy and the
Sundance Kid .. Newman keeps asking Redford .. "who are those guy" as they
are trailed ..

Next summer, as you are heading for Canada ,, look back ... see that sail
...

You will be asking "who is that guy" .


Happy Holiday ,, Merry Christmas ,, New Years, ,, etc etc.

Keep giving it to me.. I enjoy the abuse.

If either of you hear the soothing rumble of a pair of Detroit 671s up
ahead, that will be me. Fifteen thousand pounds of static thrust can
be very useful for pulling off grounded sail boats. Make sure your
cleats are through bolted. I hate it when they go whizzing by...
:-)

Wayne ,,, that rumble .. does it sound like a GULP, and the sound of a cash
register TOGETHER?

Gentlemen,

I'm leaving for Maine and Nova Scotia from Baltimore, Maryland or New York
City in late May. I'll be stopping in Camden, Maine at Wayfarer Marine for
them to install a larger watermaker then going up to Castine for the Fourth
of July. I'll leave from Castine around the 10th of July and go to the
Shelburne Yacht Club in Nova Scotia. I spent last summer in Maine.

I also don't do well in flotillas. They slow me down too much. I've got a
2003 Beneteau 473 with 45 foot of waterline. No offense but I believe I can
out run either of you gentlemen.

Good luck.

................ once.
