Don't know who the OP was, but..... Since when did Nova Scotia become
an island?????

That's just Flatulent Jim expelling his vast geographical knowledge.
I think the sea would have to rise 10 or so feet to make us an island.

Whether NS is an island or not is no concern to flajim, since he doesn't
have a boat and has no need to consult a chart or a map.

I suppose that is a northern thing.
Here in the tropics we have storms that would blow that skinny little
finger of land away. It is common to have people wake up after a storm
and find a new pass where a solid stretch of land used to be.
On the other hand the two islands a few miles away might be one big
one now. At any rate I hope Bill takes it easy on you folks. Be safe.


Thanks...the local surfers are already chomping at the bit for a chance at
really big waves (by this areas standards)
