While in Mahone Bay, make sure you stop at Oak Island. You may be there when they find treasure (like the Arc of the Covenant, or Noah’s Arc, or whatever). 😃

It seemed adequate for the harbor hopping that we did from Shelburne to St Petes, Bras D'or Lakes. It is bare bones though -- mostly narrative and none of the illustrated charts that are common in other cruising guides I've seen. There are lots of places along the NS coast to drop the hook but if you need fuel and supplies (gas in my case as I still have the original Atomic 4 in my C&C33) the options are limited between Halifax and St Peters. In fact, even Mahone bay, where I thought for sure there would be fuel, only had diesel at the gas dock so we had to ferry fuel in jerry cans from gas station using the dinghy -- all part of the fun! Luckily the winds were very cooperative so we didn't really need much fuel.

What is a good Cruising Guide Source for Nova Scotia etc? there are a couple on Amazon (one put out by CCA) but he tells me they are terrible. Any suggestions? Sadly he has an Albin Trawler (so you might not want his sorry butt in Canada) Mike Dolan 34" C&C Skywalker 1979 _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
