Sailing Cape Breton, Nova Scotia July 2004

During the last 2 weeks of July 2004 the sailing vessels Time Enough, Y'Knot, Scout and Puff Stuff traveled north after the Champlain rendezvous to Bras D'Or on Cape Breton. We launched at the beautiful Lion's Club Marina in St. Peters, where the manager and staff were as friendly and helpful as anyone could ask. A local 26X joined the group and we spent the next 2 weeks sailing around the inland sea of Bras D'Or, plus some sight seeing on shore.
