Hi John,
       I just returned from a week paddling/camping in Nova Scotia and 
will definitely return to do the same ASAP. The people were incredibly 
friendly and generous. The weather and exchange rate were both in our 
favor. I spent several days on the south shore around the Lunenburg area 
where there are a variety of interesting paddling opportunities ranging 
from very protected to quite open in any variety of lengths. I also spent 
some time up in Cape Breton where the paddling was not as interesting but 
the sights on land and the people encountered more than made up for the 
difference. Last summer we spent some time up north of Moncton at a 
national park called Kouchebouguac (or something similar) There were some 
water front walk-in camping sites just past the park on the opposite 
shore which were ideal for a paddling base though again the area is not 
as interesting to paddle in as some locals further south. Have fun.
                                                        mark
