Going to Halifax!

We've posted new dates and destinations for the Fair Jeanne voyages to Halifax this summer. The thinking was that the 21-day trips were a bit long and a pricey, so we broke the voyages up into smaller more affordable legs. The new dates and destinations can be found on the Dates and Fees page.

Essentially the schedule of voyages on Fair Jeanne in 2009 look like this:
  • Two 7 day shakedown voyages from Brockville, Ontario to Picton, Ontario, and then from Picton to Québec City, Québec.
  • A 15 day voyage from Québec to Halifax, Nova Scotia to participate in the Tall Ships Nova Scotia Festival 2009 from 16-20 July.
  • A few stops to visit some of the ports around Nova Scotia before heading back east, again in smaller voyage legs.
  • An 8 day trip from Pictou, Nova Scotia to Miramichi, New Brunswick.
  • A 15 day trip from Miramichi to Brockville.
  • And then wrapping up the summer with a 5 day jaunt from Brockville to Kingston.
Mary and Jason are trying to fill the last two Fair Jeanne voyages with younger trainees, i.e. those 13 & 14 year olds, who are looking for a bigger, more challenging adventure than available on Black Jack. If you are at all interested, please call that office at 613-596-6258 and talk to Mary about it.
