Hotel Rooms Filling Up For Bluenose II Re-Launch


Hotels in Lunenburg are filling up quickly for the re-launch of the Bluenose II. At least five hotels have indicated rooms are filling up fast in advance of the historic event at the end of the month. Manager of the Lunenburg Arms, Jeff Green, says people from Atlantic Canada and elsewhere are coming to watch the famed schooner go in the water.



Other hotels say international guests have made reservations for the weekend. Green says they were completely booked in less than a day while other hotels said there rooms filled up in under three hours. The Bluenose II is expected to be re-launched between 7-9am Saturday September 29 when the tide is at its morning peak.
