Hi John,
It sounds like the shoulder season there is
similar to our "nice days" winter & early spring
cruising. We were at Newcastle Island all of
Easter Weekend. (Hey Jim, don't tell them how far we had to go.)
Here's what I use (portable Buddy) to take the
chill off in the cabin while I'm making morning
coffee. Very safe, the Admiral can trip it off
just by shifting the rug it sits on.

This assumes you have already have a propane gas
detector for the galley stove and never leave the heater unattended.
Cheers, Russ

Ok, I think I can survive the temperature. So
what are the prevailing winds in Nova Scotia?
(Mid-May - Mid Sept, south coast). I wonât
even ask about tides (and Iâm 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 might ask folks who actually live there.

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:

Was sailing last year from April 20th to Nov 4th. Nicer winds in the fall.
Have an Espar which was nice for October along with Merino layers.
Watch out for Lobster trap floats and leaders
if you are sailing inside the limit.

Subject: Stus-List A little help from our neighbors up north...
So Iâm 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 hereâs the question - how
long is the sailing season in that area. Iâm
not talking sailing for Canadians, Iâm
talking sailing season for sissy-boy I wonât
wear socks Americans. Joking aside, I would
assume some kind of diesel heat for nights is pretty much prerequisite.
Thanks in advance
John
