The BEST place to sail in Nova Scotia, Canada

[@toddandrewwilson]

Sophie - thanks for highlighting the FUN side of racing 😂 it was a treat to have you join the Falcon crew and hope you come back soon 🎉❤

[@svalouette863]

Yes siree, east coast of Canada, nothing like it in the world…chill and enjoy.

[@jacquelinechiasson1757]

I love your passions and find Sophie’s humour refreshing and unexpected. I think a lot of people would enjoy an afternoon of that style of racing.😅

[@RyanSophieSailing]

I didn’t know that I had racing in me, but turns out… I’m really good at it ;)

[@carenclemmons5002]

Hell yeah

[@jonunya3128]

peace signs with your toes... epic. thanks for the video!

[@StitchingK]

Haven’t been there for decades, but Chester, Mahone Bay and Lunenburg are some of the very best places on earth. Definitely Velcro places. I spotted a restaurant where we always used to eat when in the area. Thank you for all the wonderful images. The memories came flooding back.

[@bnbegal]

We so much enjoyed having you guys here again! What a special summer.

[@textickulartrauma8287]

S/v Nanu Nanu here- watching this as hubby and a friend are bringing our boat to Yarmouth, NS--- going to enjoy exploring Lunenberg, Mahone Bay, and all the other magical places! Thank you for a beautiful preview. Love that you love this place so much! After this paradise, head for Mackinaw Island Michigan (Lake Huron) and the Benjamin Islands and Killarney- amazing hiking, fishing, boating, and island hopping :)

[@DavidSmith-le6fz]

Sophie, the quality of your videos is amazing ❤️

[@stevenplancich6449]

Yippee…Another “Good Times” Episode👍 Continue to Stay Safe and Enjoy😎

[@svkasuri7962]

Merci! Nous avons navigué une saison en Nouvelle-Écosse et Chester est une de nos villes favorite! Je suis bien contente que vous avez aimé.

[@BillB23]

Sophie, your wry twist on life is always a joy. I'm glad I found your channel. I think, but don't know for sure, that it was through M&J Sailing. I follow several sailing channels and cannot believe you don't have 100K subs.

[@ScottyCammac]

Canada is a beautiful country and I hope you got some of that Nova Scotian hospitality during your visit.

[@charonstyxferryman]

Racing is a lot fun. My purpose of racing: Learn as much as possible about sailing. We had already learned so much that a Beaufort 7 was considered a good challenge as well as a lot of fun (we used a full keel heavy displacement boat for that sailing challenge). The old guy (skipper) who had teached us has about 55 years of experience, including Atlantic crossings - and a few weeks ago, he decided we was good enough for being on our own.

[@dutchglobetrotter4513]

That looked like an exhilarating race. Love Barnacles sunnies.

[@RyanSophieSailing]

It was so exciting 😀 I’ll do it again any time!!!

[@Nullphoric]

Hey! From New Brunswick, Love the Channel!

[@SKOORB5551]

Fall colors, an outstanding coast line, great people. Enjoy.🎉

[@SapphosSails]

You should ask to go in the one design bluenose races there! I was out a few weeks back now and it was a ton of fun! Very competitive even with light winds! My offer to grab a beer still stands and chester is even closer to Halifax haha! Hope you two enjoy the local scene! Chester really is a gem!

[@jaynedurden9989]

Oh!!! You've done it now. We will have you on one of the HHSA Women's regatta boats in 2024!

[@smokingkippers1173]

"Not my boat" You've no idea how often I'm going to use that phrase!

[@RyanSophieSailing]

Hahaha 🤣

[@SailingwithScott]

Sophie - your media shooting, storytelling and editing skills are top notch! Enjoyable.

[@kaskl5403]

Looks like many beautiful places and a good time.

[@rainfinger]

You have some weather coming your way, knowing you guys will be well prepared.

[@sailinglatis]

Awesome advice and video. Thanks. 🇨🇦

[@catwednesday]

So, so funny! Good to see you having so much fun.

[@kevinsheilapurkiss4562]

Great video! We are just starting to explore NS and loving the sailing.

[@sailingarista]

Nova Scotia has been on my bucket list a few years. I’m back to an office job after living on board last year and returning to Lake Ontario but the next time I leave will be out the st Lawrence and I will not miss Lunenberg. Amazing spot!

[@johnpeterarnold5941]

HI, we have been following your moves as you came down Long Island Sound. You are now moored near the statue of liberty. Trying to get away for Lee we also came down the Sound and stopped, again, in One 15° Brooklyn Marina. I mention this place in case you do not know about it. It is a great location to visit the city. We stayed here for two weeks before sailing north. We went up the Hudson to Croton-on-Hudson. As far from Lee as possible. Probably overkilling it. But great fun. Peter & Lory

[@jomfruensrejser5474]

Velcro place, NICE expression👍👍

[@carlthor91]

Sophie, I don't know how you spent so much time on a sail boat, and are not a die hard racer???😁😎 When my residence was in the South, I spent all of my summers, that I could arrange, lake or coastal racing and cruising. Best wishes from Northern Canada.

[@akathesquid5794]

How fun. Racing! are you guys making it to Bras D'Or? hope so. We are on our way back down south (Bahamas? Carib? who knows) spent the summer cruising Maine and NS. Living the dream. This was one of your best videos ever, love the style here. SV Nautilus. Out.

[@Tim8mit]

Mahone bay is the home of Oak Island you should do sail by to see if they have finally found the pirate/ templar/ who knows treasure they have been searching for for the last 12 years, it is south of Chester , the Lagina Brothers will be filming at this time of year for discovery channel. Cheers

[@crocandrew]

Coucou Sophie et Ryan :) We found your channel on KZbin 2-3 weeks ago when searching for videos teaching "how to sail" as we would love to explore more of the world by the ocean. Today I was like: let's check if there are videos of people sailing around where we live (Mahone Bay - mais on vient de Belgique!).... guess what I found? :D Very amusing. Oh and we also bought your course, it has been a delight to watch, thank you to the two of you for all the work you put into your content.

[@RyanSophieSailing]

Aaaaaah this comment is absolutely making my day ☺️ also the company I work for is from Liege and Antwerp, so I do spend a fair share of time on Belgium!

[@mattdyson6144]

Hi Guys, a great watch as always. Can I ask where you got the dog sunglasses from?

[@timedenote]

Love your videos so much ❤😊

[@joelbrown4110]

Lee is coming!!

[@JoeB1207]

Sailing Sweet Ruca has an advanced sailing skill couple. That has been interesting watching them round Cape Horn and what not. In a J 40!

[@sanyaomerovic1659]

I saw that video too. Crazy brave. I think they have J boat. At least it was J boat when they repaired the hole in Brazil ?

[@JoeB1207]

@@sanyaomerovic1659 Corrected, J 40. BTW, the best way to start shopping for a boat is sailboatdata. I explains some of the recent comments by various boat oCapsizing screening formula, Comfort, Sail Area / Displacement are my top three stats. Although I have no idea why Sweet Ruca is happy in such furious weather.

[@joelbrown4110]

Gotta see Oak Island while at Mahone Bay, you're right past it. "Curse of Oak Island".

[@JakobEngl]

Great video

[@Marc_de_Car]

Thanks

[@tartansailor]

Are you planning to sail the Saint-Lawrence river up to Montréal?

[@familyupgrade]

This was... amazing. Like rum zwizzle. Swizzle? Zwissle? Still, you guys are fantastic! Tack så mycket! /Catta

[@RyanSophieSailing]

Hahaha, I should totally have made rum swizzle and brought it to the race ;)

[@CAPTJohn47]

Ironworks makes a really nice gin!

[@badcat4707]

Next year you guys will have to come to Quebec for Poutine 👍😸😺

[@johnpacheco5404]

Guys there's a storm coming get some place safe...hurricane Lee.

[@Fenestron]

1:02 Ryan is not only in the business of battery development but meat product sales as well lol.

[@AngusJohnson-ei1kk]

Of all the photos of homes ,did you get the chance to visit the home of ( Capt. Angus Walters) ? He and the Bluenose are the very reason Lunenburg is a port to sail into. Enjoy your time in the upper North Atlantic. Angus SV Violet Walters

[@tammy6992]

Oh my gosh, that is so funny you’re going to be part of that race crew that is so funny

[@C_C_SEA]

💯Good on you *Madam Joy Bringer* 😂 ...top shelf entertainment ✨🏆✨ ❤⚓🖖

[@JoeB1207]

Referencing your canvas Teflon thread, 132 AND a sailrite marine sewing machine will work out much better in a couple of years. Solarfix thread 138. Teflon heavy thread Let’s see who uses it first. Cheers Lol, Des Moines, I went to school there at 3200 Grand Ave. You lost your accent.

[@toddmatteson9751]

A drinking club with a sailing problem lol

[@jfeeney1001]

Too bad you skipped Mahone Bay and the inner island route to Chester through Indian Point. Next time.

[@artboudreau7036]

fait beau la
