My wife and I plan to paddle for a week on both sides of the Cape Hatteras in the first week of September. I know that this is also prime hurricane season. As a plan b, we are looking at Northern Maine and maybe Halifax. Any suggestions or comments on that area?

For sea kayaking, we're talking eastern Maine. The best solitude and wildlife are east of Schoodic Point. Schoodic is beautiful as well. MITA (Maine Island Trail Assn.) membership will allow you to visit (and camp) some remarkable wilderness. The book "Hot Showers of Maine" will help you as well. douglas in sf *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

A bit more adventurous around some of the steeper parts of Cape Breton, where there may be few safe coves to slip into. All of them have local info onplaces to go and things to see. Fundy shore of New Brunswick can also be interesting. The eastern shore of NS has many options, and is pretty nice. South west, especially up into the Bay of Fundy, gets you into whale territory. Late summer you might see quite a few, including the rare Atlantic Right Whale. (Called the "right" whale by old-time whalers because it was slow and easy to catch, and it floated when dead.) General info http://www.explorenovascotia.com/ Northern Cape Breton http://www.scotiakayaking.com/ http://www.northriverkayak.com/ Eastern Shore (and tours all over) these guys have been there for ages. http://www.coastaladventures.com/ The Association http://ckns.homestead.com There are more outfitters who can offer partial services (shutttles, routes, etc) all over the place. BTW: If the weather is really lousy at sea, you can go on Lake Rossignol inland. Big and rugged, but surrounded by land.
