 Sail boats on the St. Peters Inlet of the Bras d'Or Lake

Sail boats on the St. Peters Inlet of the Bras d'Or Lake (a french name meaning 'Arm of Gold' - sometimes referred to as the Bras d'Or Lakes, ) as you come through the canal from the St. Peters Bay off the Atlantic Ocean.  The Bras D'or Lake is a very large salt/fresh water lake that supports oyster, lobster and salt water fish populations.  It lies in the center of Cape Breton Island with several connections to the ocean including the St. Peters lock Canal.
