Sea Kayaking in Nova Scotia

Janet Money, formerly the sports editor of the Woodstock Daily
Sentinel-Review, is a freelance writer and editor in London, Ontario.

Scott Cunningham is a veteran of a canoe circumnavigation of Nova
Scotia. He has covered all the territory in the 37 paddling routes
described in this volume, which is designed for the sea kayaker.
Although this book is a combination travel guide/paddling chart, it is
not recommended that the author’s small maps be relied on for
navigation. Anyone attempting these trips would be well advised to
photocopy the relevant pages and either seal them in a map case or
laminate them for the journey (spiral binding would have helped).

For each of the 37 routes, Cunningham provides departure point, arrival
point, trip length, the relevant official charts and maps, a description
of the route, safety considerations, and points of interest that are
marked on the small maps. Most of the trips will last a single day or
weekend; a few will consume up to a week. Cunningham conveys historical
and geographical information in a matter-of-fact fashion. The
photographs are somewhat murky (presumably the result of a printing
problem and not an indication of the weather conditions).

The increasing popularity of sea kayaking in North America makes books
such as this one most welcome.
