<div id="ygrps-yiv-776728774">a hoped for internal canadian version of point roberts<br/>
& 2 more potential crown waters tripoints with it<br/>
  at the north end of the onpq boundary in the james bay area<br/>
all seem pretty well busted now by an 1898 citation in nicholson<br/>
taken from the statutes of canada  61 victoria  cap 3<br/>
which says<br/>
the quebec boundary runs due north with the ontario boundary<br/>
  to  the  shore  of james bay<br/>
  &  thence  northeasterly<br/>
  following up the said shore to the mouth of the east main river<br/>
  etc<br/>
<br/>
thus there is no mention of the due north line resuming across the tongue<br/>
of land<br/>
nor have i found any evidence of such an outcome<br/>
despite the clear protuberance of the land there<br/>
<br/>
you can zoom it up distinctly on multimap  btw<br/>
& perhaps you will be as disbelieving as i am<br/>
but this is probably a dead issue now<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
the search for the 6 stikine tripoints however continues in suspense<br/>
because the limits of the estuary are very hard to discern from here<br/>
& probably even moreso for not knowing the right version of low tide<br/>
<br/>
indeed it may be necessary to go & taste for salt along the caus line in<br/>
each of the 3 channels at all possible versions of low tide<br/>
