Thanks for posting this.

Does anyone know the exact coordinates of the Sambro Government Wharf?  =
It is supposed to be at Bald Rock, Gull Road (an unknown road not =
appearing on any map), off Hwy 344 (probably actually meaning Hwy 349).  =
Reference to Google Earth does not show anything looking like a launch =
site along the coast of Bald Rock.
