Without any protected way to get from point A to B such as the ICW on the east and Gulf coasts, isnt it a bit difficult to sail north up the coast? Do people sail northwards near shore or do they all go WAAAAAAAY offshore? Since the Gulf Stream turns westward two hundred miles south of us...we don't have that worry. The Labrador current may affect boats up around northern Cape Breton, but that's what we have the Bras d'Or lakes for. Along our 'mainland' coast, people sail where they want to...out far enough to avoid dangerous areas but not so far that ducking into numerous small harbours for the night is difficult or time consuming. You'd fit right in up here Froggy...the nicer marinas are few& far between along the coast but every small community has a government wharf for the commercial fishermen. If you like roughin' it...you could stay anywhere at minimal or no cost for the night. How big is your sailboat, Don? http://www.sandpiper565.com/ I can't believe that tiny boat has a berth! Who would sleep in that? I saw the term micro-cruiser yet it sleeps four? Where? I spent a three night weekend in it. Up here we like to snuggle with our women....I suppose in your case they try to pull as far away as possible. How's your mom, Don? |
