Plan for Transatlantic 2018

17 April 2018 | Transatlantic 2018
McInnis
Maverick is planning for her transatlantic trip. Departure from Newport is scheduled for June 26 heading direct to Cowes. After transiting the Kiel Canal in Germany, she will spend the summer in Scandinavian cruising, and winter over near Stockholm, Sweden.

The Iridum GO will be sending position reports which will input into the Map tab so you can view her progress.

Maverick is in D'Escousse

McInnis-Jamison
Maverick is safely anchored in D'Escousse, on Ile Madame, in Chadabucto Bay. We are in sight of the St. Peter's Canal which leads to the Bras d"Or Lakes. It is, however, starting to rain. If tomorrow is decent we plan to go to Inhabitants Bay and then through the Canal on Monday. If the weather does not cooperate, we will just stay here for another day. We still have not blown up the dinghy but if we want to visit the very modest Lennox Passage Yacht Club we will have to. We had a great sail today after negotiating the very pretty Andrews Passage and went past Canso. Maverick once again hit 9.6 knots on a beam reach from the southeast.

Maverick Nova Scotia Cruise 2017

10 August 2017 | Shelter Cove Nova Scotia
McInnis
Maverick is now in Shelter Cove, near Pope's Harbor, Nova Scotia. We sailed here from Halifax on Wednesday the 9th. We arrived in Halifax on Saturday after a 55 hour trip from Newport. Weather is fogless since Halifax and nice sailing weather for the last half of the passage to Shelter Cove. Today we will go to Spanish Ship Bay near Liscomb. We should be in the Bras d'Or Lakes by early next week.
