I live in Halifax, but I am just an armchair sailor. I have been reading about sailing for 10 years now, and a few years ago, a friend told me to just hang around a marina for fun, talk to sailors, ask questions. I wasn't in the marina for 10 minutes before I was invited onboard to sail for the day.
To make a long story short, I met a man who upgraded his boat from a 30 to a 35 footer. He said that while waiting to sell the 30 footer, I could sail it myself once I get my preasure craft license. My short term dream trip would be to sail to Newfoundland and back from Halifax, that is why I watched your whole episode.
Could you explain a little bit about that trip, time it took how rough it was, etc...I assume that you sailed downwind all the way there, but I keep thinking you would have to tack all the way back. the wind always flows up from Nova Scotia to Newfoundland, that is the only reason I assume that.
