I hate to break yer bubble lad, but this here be a Scotch Distillery, not a rum. If rum is what yer after, you might have to catch a boat to the `rock' and get some proper rum, that being Screech. Sorry I'll miss yer event, but we're gonna be on the left coast on a cruise from Anchorage (Whittier) to Vancouver. We'll think of you while we are out at sea. Any special navy treats for being above the 60th?

Cheers!

My understanding is that they also make rum. Smuggler's Cove http://www.rum.cz/galery/nam/ca/glenora/ although that Screech is very fine but, I believe, it is imported in full or in part. -Bob

Still bursting bubbles, according to Paul's link...

"This rare find rum, aged in oak casks, was discovered in one of Glenora Distillery's whisky warehouses. Originally from Paraguay, this is The Oldest Rum ever aged in Nova Scotia."

So, stick with the whiskey, it's what we're best at! Actually, I just jealous that I won't be there to enjoy.. Have a dram for each of clowry and myself...

This is one of the world’s greatest rides! The scenic splendour of the Cabot Trail can be savoured and fully appreciated by bicycle. The breathtaking coast and highlands will show you why Nova Scotia’s name means New Scotland.

Dang! Thanks for the warning, Mike, so I won't be endlessly hollering on simplex!

I will have an APRS tracker on the bike: http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/find.cgi?call=KA1TOX-10 if you want to follow along...

This is as done as it can be for this year. The gathering commences on Friday in Larry's River and then proceeds to the highlands of Cape Breton on Sunday morning. Paul and I are posting the directional signs on Friday morning while Mary brings last minute items by car. Even if you can only make part of the gathering you are more than welcome. The weather is looking sunny with cloudy periods. All information is in previous posts. Ride safe wherever you are and stay tuned for photos of the event. -Bob, Mary and Paul
