which boils down to
or means
in summary
a bit presumptively but i think still very sensibly at this point
that
armed only with the expected authoritative ibc data & this best available depiction of the
27 foot deep & roughly 700 foot wide seaway cut
with hypothetical nyonqc centered in it more or less at the red cursor cross position here

upon a paper copy of which topo btw we may not easily or ever be able to improve anyway
we can now expect to be able to determine by careful measurement & computation
the very putatively if not definitively correct tenth of a second
or roughly 10 foot geodetic swath
for onqc
just where it tees up with a geodetic ribbon of caus that is possibly less than an inch wide
depending on the official findings of the commish
but a ribbon of it in any case no more than 27 inches wide based on already known data
as if our gps receiver were expensive enough to be accurate enough to discern any of this
hahaha
but anyway first i must call the commish off the case of onqc
now that i have pinned it down to my own substantial theoretical satisfaction
if only to simplify his task enough to enable him to even offer us an answer
about the data which he is indeed so eminently & primarily responsible for
whether in 40 minutes thenceforward or not
first thing monday morning on this one to be sure
