CANADIAN in NOVA SCOTIA

[o-zone]

Hi all, I,ve been just checking out the site and there seems to be a lot of variety here. Anyway I,m 61, done a fair bit of sailing, wooden boat builder for a number of years and am looking to make some changes in my life. I love to travel on my bike and would like to get back to living aboard. I,m just enjoying the diversity here and the Brrrrrrrrrr cold days. Cheers Mike

Hi there, You sure need something to keep the sanity with this winter, just won,t end, man I,m reading about poeple sailing in warm sunshine, Am I nuts to stay here ? Can,t wait to get the boat ready this year, Think I,m go to do more cruising than last year. I got a Hurley 22, english built, very sturdy, stiff pocket cruiser, and a Drascomb, and a Northern 26 and a few more. Too much stuff when you can,t do anything all winter. What are you sailing in Halifax ? Cheers Mike

Aloha and welcome to the forum.
Good to have you here. According to the TV weatherman you've had your share of cold weather this winter.

It briefly got above freezing on my side of Nova Scotia. I've been living on the Minas Basin for a decade and not once seen a boat in the waters that once saw the largest sailboat ever built.
