Atlantic Coast of Nova Scotia, the season lasts into mid September without some heat source. Bras d'Or Lakes of Cape Breton Island, mid September without some sort of heat, with diesel heat your're good to the end of September, the first week or two of October perhaps.
The Bras d'Or Lakes are an amazing, 450 square mile oasis, a refuge, an escape from the fog, rough seas and cold water of the open coastline. The east and west coasts of Cape Breton Island are also warmer and sunnier than Maine even though further north. "A basin ringed by indigo hills laced with marble. Islands within a sea inside an island." A local online resource, maintained by volunteers from the Dobson Yacht Club in Sydney Harbour is *Cruising Cape Breton*. It is a cruising guide that can be used online OR downloaded to your computer. It is constantly updated, to make sure the information is always current. Among other things it contains hundreds of detailed charts of the multitude of anchorages in the Bras d'or and around Cape Breton Island. You can use it directly off your computer or print the chartlets, etc. to have paper backup if you wish.
