Ok, I think I can survive the temperature. So what are the prevailing winds in Nova Scotia? (Mid-May - Mid Sept, south coast). I won’t even ask about tides (and I’m coming from Long Island). Yes, I know I can get all this from a cruising guide and already to some extent have but I thought I

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 35-III #11 On 2016-03-31 7:45

Hi Chris, Congratulations on the new boat. I learned a lot from this list and appreciate the many different approaches to problem solving. Edson can tell you which cable you need by the model of your boat. I think they have two lengths. I don't have a windless. We usually anchor in 12 feet

For most of Nova Scotia, Lobster Season ends by mid July so no traps and trap lines to worry about after that. However, different regions have different seasons, a few radically different than the others. An overview listing is here: http://thisfish.info/fishery/species/atlantic-lobster/ Ken H.

Looking for ideas. The cabin sole on our boat sits in a recessed molded liner. To fit the new sole the old one was used as template and several fittings took place. Despite all this there is a gap between the molded edge of the hull liner and the edge of the new sole that varies from 1/8 to
