Amet Sound
Amet Sound is a large body of water, an embayment of the Northumberland Strait, on the north shore Nova Scotia straddling Colchester and Pictou counties. It takes its name from Amet Island, a small island just beyond the mouth of the sound in Northumberland Strait.〔Bill Hamilton, (Place Names of Atlantic Canada ), University of Toronto Press, 1996, p. 283〕 Because of its sheltered position, its bays and harbours are considered "safe haven" for yachts in the event of major storms.〔Steve Abbey, ( Barrachois Harbour: Atlantic Canada's Best Kept Boating Secret ), Atlantic Boating News, July/August 2003.
