Introduction

Much has changed since Cruise Cape Breton was published 40 years ago—not only around the island, but also in the way we navigate and communicate. Today, with GPS and state-of-the-art electronics we navigate with a precision that was undreamt of back then. Change is continuous—any book-format guide is out-of-date before it's published. Here, as you can see from the "What's New?" column (right), we update our information frequently.

This is a never-ending project, so check back for updates…

Few of us have the luxury of Internet access while under way—and reception of cellular-phone signals is often poor or non-existent—so much of the useful reference material linked to, or contained within this website, may be downloaded in PDF-format for printing or storing on a laptop or tablet computer for use aboard your vessel—just look for the PDF symbol.
OR click to download everything with one click.

You'll need a PDF‑reader to view and print these documents—most web browsers include one. If you need one, simply click a button to download the popular Adobe® Reader® or the better Foxit® Reader for free. Several other PDF‑readers are also available for free on the Internet.

Use our "Contact Us" page to tell us what you think needs adding or changing. This is a purely volunteer project. Anyone wishing to contribute by providing suggestions, additional, or corrective information, or by writing material for inclusion in this website, should contact the authors. Keeping this information up-to-date and relevant is important and time consuming and all help will be greatly appreciated! Experience in web-design is unnecessary—You write it, we'll 'web-page' it! You're all invited to participate.
