Cheticamp update

Hi Glen and John,

The dockage rates posted on the Cheticamp HA website gave the dockage rate for transient recreational vessels as $55.00 +HST per night, as posted in 2013. Very expensive, in my view for, say, a 30-ft vessel, considering there are no showers etc.

So, I contacted the HA to ask if those rates were still valid, or expected to change. They advised that they are in the process of updating their website and the revised rates are quite reasonable, and more inviting to cruisers.

They say:

The daily dockage rate for recreational vessels is as follows:
Vessels up to 65 ft.: First day – Docking before noon (charged for a full day)
First day – Docking after noon (free)
The free day only exists on the very first docking day
Rate per day – $0.50 per foot plus HST

Vessels over 65 ft: First day – Docking before noon (charged for a full day)
First day – Docking after noon (free)
The free day only exists on the very first docking day
Rate per day – $0.75 per foot plus HST

I’m in the process of updating the Cheticamp information on the Cruising Cape Breton website.
Cheers,
Colin

Hello, John!

Thanks so much for including the article on Broad Reach in CY.

In a certain sense, Broad Reach is all about the generosity of sailors:

we have about 50 volunteers, & only one employee. Without the strength & commitment of our volunteers from the sailing community we would never have come into existence – or have continued to exist, for 20 years.

Speaking of the generosity of sailors: we have just received a once-in-a-lifetime donation of a Rhodes Offshore 40, exquisitely restored to “better-than-new” condition.
We would like to submit an article on this beautiful vessel, & this deeply thoughtful donation, at some point in the future.

Until then, thank you so much for your support – which, again, reflects the generosity of sailors, whether on water, or … in print!

Cheers!

Pursuit S268 Sport CC

By Andy Adams

The Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console is a do-it-all kind of boat with a solid sense of style. Centre console designs have been developed for the southern blue water sport fishing enthusiasts (and this boat would raise fish with the best of them) but the Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console offers far more utility and enjoyment than just fishing.

Bayfield Marine Turns 40 with Big April Events

Ron and Pat Reder started out in October 1984 across the road from where they are right now on the Bayfield River in Bayfield ON. The store front was about 10 x 20 and the rest of that side of the building was a stock room, wood finishing room, then behind that was more back stock and the lunchroom. Expanding every few years for the store front, then moving over to this new building five years ago, this year with Adam, Shelley, and Holly are carrying on the business.
