Index of Subjects Great photo ! Bernard Forsythe & I walked the entire east dyke from Hortonville to East Point yesterday afternoon, right at high tide. It was great fun. The dyke is not precisely level altho I'm sure they want it to be. At one area near East Point the water was about 6" below the top of the dyke. A Hurricane Sandy type of storm surge would be a wee bit difficult. That area is roughly right in the centre of this photo. http://tinyurl.com/cd6cmnl It was most interesting how quickly the water dropped after the tide reversed. We are well aware of the "all the rivers in the world" volume concept, but it still was amazing to think of the entire Bay of Fundy draining so quickly. Rick.
