I spend a magical night (of sorts) anchored behind McNutts island, which will be my official starting point for the Nova Scotia cruise. The following day I set off for Carters Beach. I start off in fog and light wind, then have rain and strong wind, then clearing and light wind, then fog and light wind, then rain and strong wind, and finally clearing and light wind. Never a dull moment ...

Love that sou’wester. You should let us know before you get to Nova Scotia next time. We will throw an open mic party just for you.

Welcome to Nova Scotia Kevin! Glad you were able to enjoy our lovely sailing conditions. Next time, let us know, I'll buy you a good Canadian beer.

Beautiful part of the planet, nice show!!! Makes a guy want to go to his boat.

Glad to see you exploring the South Shore. Familiar coast. Lots of great memories related to ducking in and out of those coves and harbours (and, yes, fog+rain+variable winds - especially in June/July!)

It's a cruisers paradise, well, except for the weather on occasions.

Happy Thanksgiving, Ron. Presently in Hadleys Harbor, MA, just had a big storm go through.

@michaelgullikson5235 7 ай бұрын

When looking at the glassy water of that last morning, I couldn't help but wonder what vision one must have to see the wind? Always a pleasure to see what you're up to.

Kevin, would have loved to hear that bell of yours in those foggy conditions 😊

Enjoyed the touch of the strings at the end. I liked the base line. Carters is a fine patch of sand for us down east types, glad you got a glimpse. Happy Thanksgiving, US style given the date. Fair winds and following seas!

Thanks Charlie, that's a new composition which is still not finished ... Happy Thanksgiving! I learned that Canada also celebrates Thanksgiving, only one month earlier.

Thank you for another interesting and enjoyable video. Do you have a mast top vhf aerial and a second one on the stern?

@howtosailoceans1423 7 ай бұрын

Just the one astern. Hard to run a wire up there with a solid mast ...

When you say 'this is a fun one,' ironically, do you have to sail to that beach you mentioned ?

I did sail to Carters Beach.

I have been wodnering, how do you handle a double tailed mainsheet?

@howtosailoceans1423 7 ай бұрын

It works fine for a gaffer. I can never point close enough that I need to bring the boom to the centerline, no need for a mainsheet traveler.

@lennyw5451 7 ай бұрын

@howtosailoceans1423 my gaffer has a traveler but I never use it so that's makes sense, thank you.

Confused seas, there must have been irregular coastline and or shoal waters. Riding in the trough in light air is not favorable. Kevin, you're as fickle as the weather. First you say you prefer rain over fog. Then say lifting fog and beginning rain is bad news. Ah, the life of a sea going semi-hermit. Steady as she goes takes a new meaning. Keep it up, please.

@howtosailoceans1423 7 ай бұрын

Oh lol! Yes, I have found the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia tends to be very rolly. The good news is that there a quite a few inside passages where you can cruise on flat water.
