September is one of the best months to sail in Nova Scotia. The breeze tends to be a bit stronger, the light gets that late-summer gold, and the towns quiet down.

We are sailing until September 30, and we've added some evening sails! Come feel the wind and experience Bluenose II before we tuck her in for the season.
