I was hoping to hear some input from you on the boat stuff! I'm sure we'll have to talk some more. There was a big sailboat for sale I saw, it was probably about 35'+. There are 70 slips there plus the wharf area for the lobster fishermen which go out early in the AM. The cost of marina membership is $70/annually including 3 annual parties and 4 mooring spots at another marina about 5km away; very close to another lot we looked at but lost out on. Marina is about 3.5-4km by road.
Yeah, it seems pretty nice. When we arrive yesterday those sail boats were right in front of our place but I didn't get the camera out for a bit until they were further away.

The village has a hospital, RCMP office, decent sized grocery store and liquor store, a Home Hardware, recreation center with arena, some small restaurants/pub, 2 gas stations and a small Ford dealer. It is about 30 minutes to Truro, 45 to New Glasgow and 50 to Amherst.

Yes, it's beyond me to put those maps on here but if you look at google earth it's:
Go to google earth Sand Point, Colchester County. Scoot along the road out nearly to the end of road on the point to the right. Then put your cursor on 45 44’56.89 N ; 63 15’53.36W . That is basically the center of the lot.
This is another source. Look at the black dot second from the end of the road on Sand Point and you'll know where we are.

There is one about 3 miles away and two others within a 25 minute drive. One of them is an incredible course (fox Harbour) owned by a well known Canadian tycoon- Ron Joyce who owned Tim Hortons donuts. All the rich and famous fly to the private air strip or sail/boat in to play and stay there. We nearly bought a property across the road from it which is still for sale.

I don't golf though.

All of the shots I took are at full zoom on my camera. We are about 2km as the crow flies from the marina and the fishermans wharf.
