I haven't bought "booze" in years. In fact, I took threepontoons some
top shelf ale down to SC and when I bought it (i haven't bought beer
in 20 years) I was floored at how much it cost - a micro brew true,
but still. :)

I understand that some have hidden as much as thirty cases of Trinidad
light in a fishboat.. [Some bit of French territory off NS sells booze
cheap]. Grampa said it was better in his day: The Mounties stayed away
from the parties. The rum was better, came in bigger bottles too, and
the Revenue cutters were slow.

Probably St. Pierre et Miquelon just south of Newfoundland.
If you have a sailboat you can trace this route in 2010. The race is held
every 2nd year...the off years for the Marblehead/Halifax race.
