Xcelsior Sailing from Halifax Harbour
Halifax, Canada
Pat and Ted Haight have been dreaming of a long sailing adventure on our sailboat Xcelsior. Our daily highlight will be toasting Sunsets from Halifax, Nova Scotia and beyond. We will be departing Halifax southward to Bermuda, and then continuing south to the Virgin Islands. We’ll Island hop to the Southern Caribbean for hurricane season around the 1st of June.

In early November, point west transiting through the Panama Canal. Once in the Pacific, North towards Vancouver Island and Victoria, British Columbia. This cruise will take almost a year to complete the first three legs. With fair winds and seas we should arrive in early May 07. We are looking forward to visiting Pats family and friends we made while in the Navy. From there, no plans are made for what direction we will take to return home, East or West??? Halifax is still Home. The Odyssey will begin April 2006... We hope to keep this Blog current until we are back in Halifax. This first Photo is form this past summer sailing from our home port in “Nova Scotia”. Visit our site often, leave us your comments below, or drop us a note at "xcelsior_ca@hotmail.com"
