your I60 may be better than you at first think. With amas you could
go anywhere in that thing.
By the way, once while flying back from the rock to Toronto, we flew
right over the south shore, and of it's most westerly tip. Somewhere
about midway accross we overflew a donut shaped like a volcano.
Anyone know what it was?

You'll have to put
some serious insulation into your Insolent60 if you plan on one day
sailing her up around"the rock".
While we were there it wasn't that cold. Not as warm as Montauk in
the Summer, but the warm days were plenty warm enough for a t-shirt,
and the cool days were nothing a fleece sweater couldn't take care
of. I went skinny dipping in a sheltered cover on the south side of
the Bay of Island on a sunny day when the wind was blow about 30k,
and as long as I stayed out of the wind I was fine.
I'm not sure I'd want to make the passage from Cape Breton to Port
Aux Basque in the I60. The day we went over on the ferry would have
been miserable and perhaps even dangerous. I'd have to learn more
about the local weather patterns before contemplating it any further.
Of course since it folds I could put it on the ferry for about $200
:-).

Yeah, but the water's only liquid for three months each year.

FBBB,
We are back from our 3 week, 4500 miles (not counting ferries) tour
of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. Needless to say, by covering so much
ground in so little time we barely scratched the surface of the
recreation and relaxation opportunities the two provinces have to
offer, but we did manage to spend some time in some places that were
truly magical.
This was my first trip to Canada (other than sleeping one night in an
Ontario cornfield on one of my transcontinental drives,) and it was
interesting to finally see a country that offers a reasonable
alternative to the U.S. There was plenty about the notably larger
role the state plays in people's day to day lives that rubbed me the
wrong way, but there were other things that were positively civilized
when compared to the U.S. way of doing things. Unlike the other trips
abroad you've heard me talk about, I did not tongue-kiss the ground
when we got back into the US of A. But enough politics, let's talk
boats!
If moving from the West Coast to the East Coast opened my mind to the
possibility of inshore and nearshore cruising, our trip to the
Maritimes has blown thing wide open. In short, you could probably
devote a lifetime to exploring any one small corner of either
province. In many places you'd need little more than a Teal (modified
for self-rescue) and a weather eye to keep yourself amused for a long
time. In particular I find myself fascinated with Newfoundland's
South Coast, and am already laying plans to return to Port aux
Basque, build a boat, and head East.
