Yet another fascinating thread, everyone -- thank you. This is a very
distracting discussion list! The light you are shining on these historical
personalities is very bright indeed.
I am spending the morning projecting tides and currents on the outbound
route of our coming summer cruise to the Bras d'Or Lake. I don't want to
make the kids and family dog too sick during the potentially rough crossing
from Charlottetown to Canso Strait, especially around Cape George. C&L's
navigation might not have been up to snuff, but their accomplishments in an
age before electronics, engines and medicine certainly put my menial travel
worries to shame.
