A Note From Cruising-Cape-Breton.info

May I introduce the website Cruising-Cape-Breton.info that I maintain with the support of others in the cruising community. It is intended to provide cruisers with the necessary information for a successful cruise of Cape Breton Island.
This is a purely volunteer project. It neither carries nor accepts any advertising, and generates no income.

DenysAll information can be downloaded for free, including an app, which runs on a laptop or tablet without need of the Internet.

Last year the eBook of Bras d’Or Lake chartlets (89 pages) had over 2,500 downloads.

…you understand now why you came this way.
