    Damn, interesting way to avoid leaving the French provinces.

    I wonder what it’s like going from the Magdalen Islands to St Pierre et Miquelon.

      That’d be a crossing twice as long so somewhere around 2-5 days of sailing if you don’t stop in NS or NL.

      And it’s not the English provinces I’m avoiding! It’s the Canso causeway lock. That darn thing stresses the crap out of me!

        The Alluring Arctic has faced greater odds traversing around Greenland.

          Oh definitely. Even I have done sails twice that long single handed in the fog. No way I’d go past the iceberg line in my fiberglass boat tho.
