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. Casady |

Casady 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. http://routehsp.wordpress.com/ |

When the price of fuel went up, people stopped driving. They have taxed the crap out of tobacco and many newer cars we were looking at before the health issue don't even come stock with ashtrays or cigar lighters.. |
