David,
Get "The Canadian Book of The Road" by Reader's Digest. Worth it's
weight in beer for highway gunkholeing.
Other than that,
Try a Schooner Ale,
Get a Lobster on a bun, but NOT from McDonalds,
Hang on to your wallet in Pictou,
Watch the Reversing Falls in St. John,
Eat scallops on the beach in Digby, just steam 'em with garlic and
butter,
Try some Fiddleheads,
If you're going to "The Rock" stay away from the Screach,
Sleep in a tent near Oromcto and listen to the thump of the 155s all
night,
Visit the Lord Beverbrook hotel in Fredricton and order a "Golden
Glow", if they've forgotten it's Cointreau and Vodka over crushed ice
with the zest of a fresh orange, don't drive afterwards,
Look at all the pretty boats,
and take lots of pictures.....

Whoa, David, don't get me started. Actually it's too late. I've already started. Just told my wife I was coming upstairs to reply to your email re. Maritime travel. Her comment was "DON'T encourage him to sail in the Bay of Fundy", so ok, I won't do that. Other folk on this list might not look kindly on my luring a fellow Bolgerado into a death trap. Depending on how much time you have, I'd strongly encourage you to turn right when you get off the ferry in Yarmouth. Follow the 103 along the south shore. That whole coast from Shelburne to Halifax is dotted with beautiful sheltered bays that are ideal for small craft sailing. Some of my favourites are:
Shelburne Harbour: a huge natural, highly protected harbour. There's a beautiful provincial park/campground with a number of sites right on the water. Shelburne is a very pretty little town with some great resturants and harbourside pubs. The fact that a dismal turkey of a movie was filmed there should not be held against it.
Port Joli: another well protected bay with crystal clear water and white sandy beaches. There's a provincial park and national park in the area.
Summerville Beach: minutes down the road from Port Joli. Not quite as protected as the two areas above, but an awesome place for beach cruising if conditions are right. Also the site of another very good resturant.
Mahone Bay: less than an hour further down the road. Wonderful well protected bay and a magical little town, even if the wooden boad festival has already come and gone.
These are just a few of the spots I have firsthand small boat sailing experience with. No doubt there are many other places in this short stretch that would be ideal sailing, not to mention places that are simply worth stopping to check out (Lunenburg, Kejimkujik Adjunt, Peggy's cove, etc.).
While you're on Cape Breton Island you should head to the northern tip to Aspy Bay. At the foot of the Highlands, there are miles of white sandy beaches that make you think you've time traveled to Hawaii before tourists found it. South Harbour is completely protected by a huge expanse of beach. You get great wind with almost no waves. There's some folks there who own a campground AND operate an oyster lease in the harbour, an unbeatable combo! I'd suggest extreme caution re. sailing off the western shore of Cape Breton. It's a beautiful stretch of shoreline, but can become a terrifying lee shore in the prevailing summer westerlies. You really need to allow for three months minimal just to do Nova Scotia justice, not that I have a bias or anything like that. There are a FEW places worth seeing in those other Maritime provinces as well. Happy traveling.
jeb, exploiting this soggy stretch of weather to go mushroom hunting on the dripping shores of Fundy

In any case, I'll be doing an extensive film log of the construction
process. I've got a note in to PCP&F and hope to have some news on
expected delivery date of the plans before we leave on our trip.

David,
Are you going to film (tape?) the construction of the I60? There must
be some content-hungry cable channel that would be interested. Or, it
could be a reality series: 6 buff guys and 6 bosomy chicks locked in
a boatshop.

I don't disagree, just don't use cash in stores. Or step up to true
currency, and use Canadian tire money...
