As summer comes to a close, I am reminded of how beautiful this season can be in Canada. We have an incredible sailing community here in Nova Scotia with 13,300 km of stunning, accessible coastline. There is something majestic about being on the water and feeling a sense of detachment from the land
where we spend most of our time. Fortunately, the fall season in Canada is equal to summer in beauty and I look forward to its appearance.
