  • CANOEING MAHONE BAY, NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA Canada's Ocean
    CANOEING MAHONE BAY, NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA Canada's ocean playground After speeding around the province of Nova Scotia in two 400-mile trips (for a total of 832 miles) during the summers of 2003/04 (see my website for details of those canoe trips), I had made a note to return to Mahone Bay at a later date for some serious gunkholing in that large island-studded bay. It is a truly spectacular area, sporting about 365 islands, one new island for every day of the year, if you wish. And if you believe the Sailing Directions (see notes), you are also apt to find better than usual boating weather here than along the rest of Nova Scotia's shores. "During fogs, which are frequent in July and August, the SW shore of Mahone Bay is usually clear with winds west of south". If that does not sound perfect for an early August fun paddle, I don't know what does. No wonder Canadians consider Nova Scotia "Canada's ocean playground", and Mahone Bay personifies that designation. You find it a tad to the south of Halifax, and it stretches from the Tancook Islands, the town of Chester, all the way down to the fishing port of Lunenburg, home of the famous Grand Banks sailing schooner Bluenose, memorialized on the Canadian dime. To make this trip even more fun, I put my sleek, carbon fiber solo outrigger canoe on my car roof, instead of my heftier touring Sea Wind sea canoe. Nancy had found a lovely place for us just outside the tiny town of Mahone Bay, right on the water.

The C&C 99 Fleet held its North American championships during Chester Race Week and Agent 99 skipper ​ ​ Rob Crutcher out of Bedford Basin Yacht Club came first all seven races in the Inshore 2 Fleet to claim the championship title in a clean sweep. C&C 99 Fleet Association President Rod Stright, skipper of Equinox 99, ​ ​ came in second overall behind Crutcher and says he was really pleased with how consistently close the boats were all week. “We were able to draw five of the six C&C 99s from Nova Scotia where we had a great few days of racing and there were some really close finishes.

  • A Hint in the Oak Island Treasure Mystery 457
    ! : Ro.ss W ilh.elm THE SPANISH IN NOV A SCOTIA IN THE I I SIXTEENTII CENTURY-A HINT IN . ::: I . J i THE OAK ISLAND TREASURE MYSTERY I I i .; Introduction OVER THE PAsT one hundred years one of the standard pirate and treasure seeking stories has been the "Oak Island Mystery." Oak Island is in Mahone Bay, Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia, and is about forty-five miles from Halifax, on the Atlantic Coast. For the past 175 years various groups have been digging on the island for what is believed to be a huge buried pirate or Inca treasure. All efforts to date have been frustrated by the intrusion of unlimited amounts of sea water into the diggings. The sea water enters the "treasure" area through an elaborate system of man-made drains or tunnels, one of which is hundreds of feet long and quilt similar to a stone sewer tunnel. While the findings of the treasure hunters indicate the probable existence of some type of treasure vault on the island, the main purpose of this paper is not to document further the efforts of the treasure hunters beyond what has been set forth in DesBrisay's History of the County of Lunenburg 2 Nova Scotia\ or in Harris' book The Oak Island Mystery , or in the numerous 3 accounts of the efforts in the mass media • The purpose of this paper is to show that there is evidence that seems to indicate that an agent of Philip II of Spain, or one of the other kings of Spain in the sixteenth century, built the Oak Island installation.

  • Influence of Hydrostratigraphy on Erosion of Drumlin Islands in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia Josh R
    Atlantic Geology Volume 49 .. 2013 22 Sea level rise following deglaciation and recent and gradual subsidence associated with foreland bulge migration has exposed these islands to marine influence. A historical airphoto survey established long term erosion rates of > 0.46 m/yr. A suite of marine physical parameters (bathymetry, fetch, swell) were studied to constrain energy transfer processes. Site investigation involved documenting the sedimentology and stratigraphy of eroding surfaces as well as the hydrological conditions (water table elevation, permeability) that might contribute to headland instability. The palimpsest stratigraphy coupled with variable till lithology and permeability contribute to the development of a complex suite of conditions (glide planes, loading) that contribute to failure of exposed surfaces. Exposures of heterogeneous lodgement till that are overlain by coarse grained, permeable ablation till are particularly prone to mass wasting. Rotational and translational failure occurs in response to oversteepening and loading associated with an elevated water table. If the exposed basal till is underconsolidated, erosion is expedited. This research demonstrates that an assessment of vulnerability to external (marine) conditions coupled with an understanding of the mass wasting processes active at each site is required to develop effective erosion management strategies for these islands.

  • History of Coveys Island in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada
    History of Coveys Island in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada There are two islands both named “Covey” or “Coveys” in Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia. One is part of the LaHave Islands (44.2485 N, 64.3659 W1) south of the Town of Lunenburg. Cottages dot the island, where “Covey Island Boatworks” was established in 1979 until 1987. The present boatyard is in Liverpool, while the offices are in Lunenburg. The subject of this article is the second island, now an unoccupied 108-acres of Crown land in Mahone Bay (44.421932 N, 64.30451W2) north of the Town of Lunenburg. It is commonly known as the location of the 1756 murder of 61-year-old French Huguenot merchant Louis Payzant. Coveys Island was formed by the melting of glaciers 12,000 years ago, and the local Mi’kmaq have occupied the Atlantic Provinces for more than 10,000 years.3 In the 17th and 18th centuries, the French and British occupied the region. In 1753 British authorities granted the area to the “Foreign Protestants” who settled in Lunenburg that summer, including Payzant and his family, who had sailed from Jersey, Channel Islands. Historical references to the island are listed chronologically: 1. About 1754 “Islands in Mahone Bay no. 7, 100 acres to Lewis Paysant [sic]” 4 was granted to Louis Payzant, along with nearby Backmans Island. 2. In 1755 the island was identified as “Paysan’s I” [sic]. 5 3. On 8 May 1756 First Nations people (sent by the French in Quebec to attack British territories) raided “Louis Paysants [sic] Island”6 where they killed and scalped Louis, as well as his servant Anne Riovant, her infant son, and a young male from nearby Rous Island, captured as a guide.7 Payzant’s stock of merchandise was seized before his house was torched.
