The Nova Scotia Lighthouse Preservation Society offers the following trip 
in August:

MABOU HARBOUR LIGHTHOUSE AND HENRY ISLAND
On  the Western Side of Cape Breton
Sat. August 12, and  Sun. Aug. 13
In partnership with the Henry Island Lighthouse Preservation Society, and 
the Mabou Harbour Authority.

Visit two wonderful western Cape Breton lighthouses, and an offshore island.

Mabou Harbour Light, is an 1884 three-story wooden light perched in the 
scenic harbour of the village of Mabou. Visit it on Saturday.

On Sunday, go by boat from Port Hood to Henry Island which is a few miles 
off the coast.  It is covered with spruce woods and has fine views of the 
Cape Breton shore.This is a rare chance to visit this island, which is 
owned by NSLPS member Bill Baker.

You'll see the magnificent 53 foot high 1902 wooden tower with its vertical 
red stripes, and visit the oldest surviving keeper's dwelling in Nova 
Scotia, beautifully restored by Bill Baker. This is a really unusual trip - 
one that should not be missed.

The trip leader is Carrie Beaton of Mabou Lighthouse.

You are responsible for getting to Mabou on Saturday (about 4 hours from 
Halifax)
Requires an overnight stay in the Port Hood Area.
Sunday's departure from Port Hood at 10:00 AM. Carrie will meet you there.
Return to Port Hood about 2:00 PM.
Cost: $35. Trip limited to 20 people.
