Do not dispute this with me Bob... you are way out of your league here. This
discussion encompasses a disipline with which I make my living and am well
respected for my knowledge in such matters.

No amount of "flushing" can remove the type of dumping that's occured.
This does not change the fact that the majority of the contamination
effects the base of the sound and not the water contained in it. That
water circulates and is exchanged on a regular basis. The water of the
Sound is clean, but the base is contaminated. No one has ever been
injured by swimming in these waters. I don't eat seafood from this area
because the ecological damage might extend that far. Still, I know lots
of people who eat what they catch here and no one is glowing or getting
sick.

You are very mistaken in that Bob... suspended particulate matter
contributing to such an overwhelming amount of sedimentation is proof the
water body is polluted. That's a fact.

Thanks for making my point, Bob. BEACHES have levels due to ground
contamination retention. This is not found in deeper water where we
swim. These waters are exchanged daily.

That is a totally false and misleading statement Robert. The contamination
will be "sealed" with depth and reduction of surge while it will be exposed
and renewed at the water's edge due to turbulence and replenishing from the
sedimentation occurring at depth which is subject to current and tidal
action. In other words... the sediment from the deeper portions feeds the
pollution at the beach.

It is _not_ safe to swim in contaminated water. Think of it as a very large
sewage lagoon.

Its still in the "how's this for a plan?" stage. I'm not sure our 10
year old is ready for a 3 summers in the boonies commitment quite yet.
Of course, she's about ready for sleep-away camp. And with the
money we'll save on marina fees we'll be able to afford camp!

One gotcha is the possibility of getting hit with import duties on the
boat if we have it in Canada for 3 years. I'm hoping the fact that it
was built in Whitby will make it exempt. Otherwise we may have to
have "necessary repairs" performed over the two winters.

But one way or t'other, we're hoping to get to Nova Scotia in the next
few years - its the one place we've dreamed about that we haven't seen.

great to meet up with you. Sydney wouldn't be my first pick of haul-outs....
try the Bras'Or Lakes.

BTW - it's Cape Breton Island... and seriously take in the Highlands
National Park and Cabot Trail.

A friend returned from wintering in Newfoundland (!) and got me thinking:
If we sailed around Nova Scotia one summer we could leave the boat around
Cape Brenton or maybe in Sydney for the winter. The next year we could
hop over to Newfoundland for a summer, and them return to Sydney. The
third summer perhaps go up the St. Lawrence and through Lake Champlain to
return. How's that sound for a plan?

Here's some of my friend's pics of Newfoundland:

Cool pic! Did you feed him anything?
I like feeding the ducks while at anchor, but they say it's not
really good for the ducks.

Hey Guys;

Lack of knowledge has never,ever bothered Nutsy. What he doesn't know,
he'll invent something to enhance his stupidity and call himself a
winner and everyone else "Busted" This will increase one and all to
jump on his case, which increase his troll. This is his goal. His win,
win technique. He keeps his own score his own way. ASA be damned as long
as he isn't ignored.

He is a winner HIS WAY!

Quite correct. I just did a quick lookup in Periera's 'Land Use and
Water Resources' to refresh my memory.

What would Bob know about geomorphology or the water cycle? Zip.

Quite right, Thom. But most of the folks here have been "trained" by me
and they simply can't resist responding to my posts, no matter how
obvious they are. They aren't my rules, because Neal and others were
doing it before me. When I 1st came here I fought with Neal and sided
with the "good" sailors.
Boy was that boring! This is far more fun! None of you can be sure of
anything, not even of the boats I sail or where. And yet I OWN this
group lock, stock and barrel. Frankly, Thom, you may be old and wise
enough to see it clearly, but this has not made you immune. That's even
more amusing because we've conversed off this group and you have a
grasp of this act, yet you're still willing to play the game. Why? Do
you feel these idiots require your support? They'll never learn, Thom.
And we're talking about 7 or 8 people that I tease and play with...not
exactly something that will have me recorded among the classic villains
of history.
BTW, Bart and I have spoken on the phone. He's a nice guy. The act
drops for real life....but this isn't real life, Thom. And Yoda help
you if you think it is.

100% wrong. The bottom conditions of the Sound are quite unique and
specific after thousands of years. It's nothing at all like the bottom
of a septic tank. Of course it helps if you actually know what "silt"
is. You clearly don't. Quite simply...

1 : loose sedimentary material with rock particles usually -uf,1-
millimeter or less in diameter.

That's exactly what you'll find in the bottom of a septic tank and must be
removed periodicallty. You clearly know nothing about septic tanks else
you'd know the bottom of the LIS isn't as unique as you'd like to believe.
