Thinking of sailing to Cape Brenton this month and not sure what's all there to see. Hear that it's very scenic and a beautiful place. Any info would be great.

Well we did go, it was the end of August
There were a few lift and swing bridges plus a few locks to go through. Just three of us, a close friend, the admiral and myself. It took us ten days, from Pictou Nova Scotia, to the farthest part of East Bay, to Baddeck then back home to Pictou.

Ya that's a great trip, nice experience to have! We did it last August as well, that double bridge looks like the Barra Strait Bridge at Grand Narrows?

Yes that's right, did you get a chance to stop there and eat at the restaurant there? Well worth it if you didn't.

Thanks for the photos! We've not gone as far East as the Bras D'or Lakes and thinking about it for next season. What distance did you sail to reach them? I see you spent 10 days in the trip. Was it enough? Did you anchor, marinas?

No, we didn't stop in , we anchored at Maskells Harbour, just past the bridge.
