[Alberg30] Nova Scotia to Bermuda?

[Scott Wallace]

Once you cleared out into the sea you could sail between Nova Scotia and
New Brunswick, keeping a weather eye out, and, depending on weather, make
it down Maine and off shore from Massachusetts...you could clear Cape Cod
(watch your charts for deadly sandbars and banks) then come back inshore
along Connecticut between Long Island and New York...once you cleared New
York you could keep off shore till the Inland Coastal Waterway and sail
down through the sounds of North Carolina, keeping inside through South
Carolina, then you might be hunky dory...it would be exciting exiting the
Saint Lawrence River and sailing down through the Straits to the
States...that time of year make sure you are OK for weather layovers...
