As others here have said, the best sailing is from June – Sept. If you are sailing in Southwest N.S. before the end of May, you have to be very wary of lobster traps; lots of them. The Lobster season in districts 33 and 34 runs up to the end of May; this is an area that covers Digby to Sheet h

We had a mild winter this year (first one in a few years...global warming is only a rumour in Canada) so I'm hoping for a decent summer this year. Should be a good year to do Atlantic Canada. I did the Bras d Or lakes last summer in July it was a little wet and cool (cold summer) but Aug w

I'd agree with Ken, spring can be unpredictable. This is doubly true in Cape Breton (where he lives). May might be cool, June - mid Sept should be great. Around Halifax area the trend seems to be more rain in July than August. Graham Collins Secret Plans C&C 35-III #11 On 2016-03-31 7:45 P

Spring is really unpredictable. This year it looks like spring is going to come quite early. Many bodies of water that are often frozen in winter did not freeze at all this year. There was no appreciable pack ice coming down from the north, not much ice in the gulf so we expect the water to warm

Thanks Ken. How early does the season start? I would expect to move the boat to Mass or so the fall before. We’ll be leaving from New York. John > On Mar 31, 2016, at 8:01 PM, Ken Heaton wrote: > > Atlantic Coast of Nova Scotia, the season lasts into mid September without > some heat sour

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

So I’m starting to get Paws (and me) ready for the next round of extended cruising. It took eight years to recover from the last one. Anyway, the thought is to head north this time - Maine, Nova Scotia, potentially Newfoundland. So here’s the question - how long is the sailing season in that
