Boating
in Atlantic Canada
 Atlantic
Canada is made up of four provinces, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia,
Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland on the Eastern Seaboard of
Canada. Home to the First Nations people, the Mi'kmaq, Atlantic
Canada has been visited regularly in the last six hundred years by
Europeans as they started to colonize the world.
Wanted
for their wealth of natural resources, the European powers
struggled for supremacy on this waterfront of Canada. All
provinces are famous for their connections to the sea and each
have their own shipbuilding and fisheries histories.
The
provinces attract many tourists, people looking for Atlantic
scenery, friendly folks and marine adventures. The boating season
is short but spectacular. Boats that are stored ashore in winter
(some stay in the water in ice free harbours) start to be launched
in May, and visiting yachts start arriving in June. The season
wraps up towards the end of October and most boats are in winter
storage by the beginning of December.
Atlantic
Canada is a fascinating varied cruising destination with
conditions ranging from rugged ocean passages to incredible
cruising on warm idyllic rivers and lakes.
