<div id="ygrps-yiv-782253485">the second thursday of the chdefr tlingit was spent in blissful approach of <br/>
ca2crnbnss at a point situated in one of the far reaches of the bay of fundy<br/>
<br/>
here the greatest tidal differences in the world advertised yet rarely <br/>
achieved at 16m or 53ft actually do approach 14m or 46ft twice daily<br/>
<br/>
& this is just the vertical description<br/>
<br/>
for a try pointer seeking the junction of the low tide line with the thread <br/>
of the missagouache river each vertical meter can translate into a kilometer <br/>
or more of horizontal distance amidst these vast chocolate tidal flats<br/>
<br/>
not only that but we find we are 4 days early for the lowest low tide of the <br/>
month a full meter & a half lower than todays but with no time available to <br/>
lay over here<br/>
<br/>
stuill we do the best we can<br/>
<br/>
a govt map appears to give the position of the tripoint at the head of <br/>
cumberland basin about halfway between fort beausejour & the head of minudie <br/>
marsh opposite<br/>
<br/>
our first class d photo attempt from beausejour without benefit of this <br/>
knowledge probably misses the true point in favor of the visible mouth of <br/>
the missagouache but our second photo is centered on this probably correct <br/>
point in the middle of the cumberland basin<br/>
<br/>
our attempts to reach the present mouth of the river from three directions <br/>
close in to about 300 meters of mudslick but a future try at the perfect <br/>
time of month with a truly definitive map & a canoe & gps seems really to be <br/>
what is indicated for this point<br/>
<br/>
sending out for chinese<br/>
