Summer Sailing Classes

Growing demand for youth sailing lessons around NS means that Antigonish will only be hosting the Mobile Sailing School for one week this year commencing on July 30th and running to August 3rd. 


Lessons will be held at the Lochaber Community Centre on Lochaber Lake, 25 kilometers south of Antigonish on the Route 7 Highway.


More information  is available by contacting Shirlyn Aker at 863-1141 or by email directed to shirlyn.aker@antigonishcounty.ns.ca.


Registration will commence on June 4 and registration details will be posted in the Municipality of the County of Antigonish's County Quarterly. 


The Mobile Sailing School is a program of the Nova Scotia Yachting Association. More information about the program is available here

Songs of Spring

As I was walking up from a water's edge, bonfire Saturday evening, I noted that the Spring Peepers had emerged from hibernation and were singing heartily (lustily?) - a sure sign that boating season is nigh.

Antigonish Yacht Club - Redux

This may be a repeat - still learning the blogging business.

What is important however, is that the Yacht Club is in for a remake - less about the big keel boats which have mostly gone out of harbour and more about smaller, more nimble craft. Boats which can explore the myriad small coves and shallow bays offered here in the harbour. Boats which put you in immediate touch with the water and that mystical world just under it's surface.

I hope you'll join us on the adventure.

Separately, there was only wind, water, sail and hull, but at my hand the four had been given purpose and direction. Lowel Thomas
