Lunenburg Harbour Continues Waterfront Improvements

Zwicker Wharf Lunenberg
Mar 22, 2016

Lunenburg has long been a must visit destination for tourists and this includes visiting yachts from all over the world. However, until recently the harbour was not particularly yacht friendly,shore access was dominated by large wharves dedicated to commercial vessels. Things have been steadily improving over the last several years and there are now three designated areas for visiting yachts. The Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic is the preferred dock for large sail training vessels and super yachts. Here the museum visitor scan speculate which movie star or business mogul may be aboard. Just to the south is Zwicker’s Wharf where a designated dinghy dock serves the anchorage and moorings and some 300 feet of floating dock is provided, with electrical hook-up available. The Waterfront Development Corporation is undertaking re-decking on the wharf for the 2016. Down by the marine railways is the Marina Wharf which can accommodate boats to 45ft and has power, water, sewage pump-out and showers. Space is limited.

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
