Most importantly come and reserve your spot for the Atlantic Canada 2009 Rendezvous ! It will be held July 18 & 19 at the Royal NS Yacht Squadron to coincide with the start of the 2009 Tall Ships event . . . http://www.tallshipsnovascotia.com/ . . . and just over a week after the end of the 2009 Marblehead-Halifax - July 5-9 . . . http://www.marbleheadtohalifax.com/

There will be lots of activity around the Squadron in July, so reservations are a must if you want a dock or mooring.

We are hoping many will join us on Monday, July 20 with your boats so we can form a Nonsuch column moving up and down the harbour during the Tall Ships Parade of Sail in Halifax Harbour !
