Introduction

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 Change is continuous—any cruising guide in book format is out-of-date before it's published.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

Because few of us have the luxury of Internet access while under way—and reception of cellular-phone signals is often poor or non-existent—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 this symbol.

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.

This is an on-going project, so check back for updates…

Keeping this information up-to-date and relevant is important and time consuming and all help will be greatly appreciated!
