This Fifth Edition of the Cruising Guide to the Nova Scotia Coast is the successor to the original Cruising Guide to Nova Scotia endorsed by the Cruising Club of America and Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron, first published in 1952. Over the past 50 plus years it has expanded to include the Inner Bay of Fundy, Prince Edward Island, the Magdalens and Sable Island. It remains the most inclusive Guide for cruising the Canadian Maritimes today.
