Explanatory Remarks<br />
0.0 Sailing Directions are published by <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> National Geospatial-<br />
Intelligence Agency (NGA), under <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> authority of Department<br />
of Defense Directive 5105.40, dated 12 December 1988, <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
pursuant to <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> authority contained in U. S. Code Title 10, Sections<br />
2791 <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> 2792 <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> Title 44, Section 1336. Sailing Directions,<br />
covering <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> harbors, coa<strong>st</strong>s, <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> waters of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> world,<br />
provide information that cannot be shown graphically on nautical<br />
charts <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> is not readily available elsewhere.<br />
0.0 Sailing Directions (Enroute) include detailed coa<strong>st</strong>al <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
port approach information which supplements <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> large<strong>st</strong> scale<br />
chart produced by <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.<br />
This publication is divided into geographic areas called<br />
“Sectors.”<br />
0.0 Bearings.—Bearings are true, <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> are expressed in degrees<br />
from 000° (north) to 360°, measured clockwise. General bearings<br />
are expressed by initial letters of points of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> compass<br />
(e.g. N, NNE, NE, etc.). Adjective <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> adverb endings have<br />
been discarded. Wherever precise bearings are intended degrees<br />
are used.<br />
0.0 Charts.—Reference to charts made throughout this publication<br />
refer to both <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> paper chart <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Digital Nautical Chart<br />
(DNC).<br />
0.0 Coa<strong>st</strong>al Features.—It is assumed that <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> majority of ships<br />
have radar. Available coa<strong>st</strong>al descriptions <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> views, useful for<br />
radar <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> visual piloting are included in geographic sequence<br />
in each Sector.<br />

0.0<br />
0.0 Courses.—Courses are true, <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> are expressed in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> same<br />
manner as bearings. The directives “<strong>st</strong>eer” <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> “make good” a<br />
course mean, without exception, to proceed from a point of origin<br />
along a track having <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> identical meridianal angle as <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
designated course. Vessels following <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> directives mu<strong>st</strong> allow<br />
for every influence tending to cause deviation from such track,<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> navigate so that <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> designated course is continuously being<br />
made good.<br />
0.0 Currents.—Current directions are <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> true directions toward<br />
which currents set.<br />
0.0 Dangers.—As a rule outer dangers are fully described, but<br />
inner dangers which are well-charted are, for <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> mo<strong>st</strong> part,<br />
omitted. Numerous offshore dangers, grouped toge<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>r, are<br />
mentioned only in general terms. Dangers adjacent to a coa<strong>st</strong>al<br />
passage or fairway are described.<br />
0.0 Di<strong>st</strong>ances.—Di<strong>st</strong>ances are expressed in nautical miles of 1<br />
minute of latitude. Di<strong>st</strong>ances of less than 1 mile are expressed<br />
in meters, or tenths of miles.<br />
0.0 Geographic Names.—Geographic names are generally<br />
those used by <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> nation having sovereignty. Names in paren<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>ses<br />
following ano<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>r name are alternate names that may<br />
appear on some charts. In general, alternate names are quoted<br />
only in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> principal description of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> place. Diacritical marks,<br />
such as accents, cedillas, <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> circumflexes, which are related<br />
to specific letters in certain foreign languages, are not used in<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> intere<strong>st</strong> of typographical simplicity. Geographic names or<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>ir spellings do not necessarily reflect recognition of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> political<br />
<strong>st</strong>atus of an area by <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> United States Government.<br />
0.0 Heights.—Heights are referred to <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> plane of reference<br />
used for that purpose on <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> charts <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> are expressed in meters.<br />
0.0 Index-Gazetteer.—Navigational features <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> place names<br />
are li<strong>st</strong>ed alphabetically in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> back of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> book. The approximate<br />
position, along with <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Sector <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> paragraph numbers<br />
(e.g. 1.1), facilitate location in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> text.<br />
0.0 Internet Links.—This publication provides internet links to<br />
web sites concerned with maritime navigational safety, including<br />
but not limited to, Federal government sites, foreign Hydrographic<br />
Offices, <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> foreign public/private port facilities.<br />
NGA makes no claims, promises, or guarantees concerning <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
accuracy, completeness, or adequacy of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> contents of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> web<br />
sites <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> expressly disclaims any liability for errors <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> omissions<br />
of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>se web sites.<br />
0.0 Light <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> Fog Signals.—Lights <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> fog signals are not described,<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> light sectors are not usually defined. The Light<br />
Li<strong>st</strong>s should be consulted for complete information.<br />
0.0 Ports.—Directions for entering ports are depicted where appropriate<br />
by means of chartlets, sketches, <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> photos, which<br />
facilitate positive identification of l<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong>marks <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> navigational<br />
aids. These chartlets <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> sketches are not always to scale, however,<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> should be used only as a general informational guide
in conjunction with <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> be<strong>st</strong> scale chart. Specific port facilities<br />
are omitted from <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> <strong>st</strong><<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong>ard format. They are tabulated in<br />
Pub. 150, World Port Index.<br />
0.0 Radio Navigational Aids.—Radio navigational aids are not<br />
described in detail. Publication No. 117 Radio Navigational<br />
Aids <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> NOAA Publication, Selected Worldwide Marine<br />
Broadca<strong>st</strong>s, should be consulted.<br />
0.0 Soundings.—Soundings are referred to <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> datum of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
charts <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> are expressed in meters.<br />
0.0 Special Warnings.—A Special Warning may be in force for<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> geographic area covered by this publication. Special<br />
Warnings are printed in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> weekly Notice to Mariners upon<br />
promulgation <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> are reprinted annually in Notice to Mariners<br />
No. 1. A li<strong>st</strong>ing of Special Warnings currently in force is<br />
printed in each weekly Notice to Mariners, Section III,<br />
Broadca<strong>st</strong> Warnings, along with <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> notice number of<br />
promulgation. Special Warnings are also available on <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
<strong>Maritime</strong> Division web site.<br />
0.0 Wind Directions.—Wind directions are <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> true directions<br />
from which winds blow.<br />

THE BAY OF FUNDY AND NOVA SCOTIA—SOUTHWEST COAST<br />
1.0 Plan.—This sector fir<strong>st</strong> describes <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> NW shore of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Bay<br />
of Fundy, from Gr<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> Manan Isl<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> to Cumberl<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> Basin. The<br />
arrangement of this fir<strong>st</strong> part is from SW to NE.<br />
1.0 The SW coa<strong>st</strong> of Nova Scotia, from Cape Sable, <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> SW extremity<br />
of Nova Scotia to Brier Isl<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> (44°15'N., 66°22'W.);<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> SE shore of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Bay of Fundy to Minas Basin is <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>n described.<br />
The arrangement of this part is from <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> SE to NW,<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>n to <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> NE.<br />
1.0 Note.—The Nova Scotia Banks are described beginning in<br />
paragraph 3.59.<br />
General Remarks<br />
1.1 The Bay of Fundy, a NE extension of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Gulf of<br />
Maine, separates <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> peninsula of Nova Scotia from <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Province<br />
of New Brunswick. It has a general width of 30 miles <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
a length of 90 miles from Gr<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> Manan Isl<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> at its entrance to<br />
Cape Chignecto near its head. At Cape Chignecto it divides into<br />
two branches, Chignecto Channel on <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> N <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> Minas Basin<br />
on <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> S.<br />
1.1 Gr<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> Manan Isl<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong>, with its associated islets <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> dangers,<br />
divides <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> entrance into two passages. The W passage, Gr<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
Manan Channel, is about 5.5 miles wide <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> free from dangers.<br />
The E passage is much wider, but is bordered on each side by<br />
off-lying rocks <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> shoals. Navigation in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Bay of Fundy requires<br />
con<strong>st</strong>ant attention due to <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> rapid <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> uncertain tidal<br />
currents, <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> prevalence of fogs, <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> difficulty of obtaining<br />
anchorage due to <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> depth of water. Vessels bound for ports on<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> NW side of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> bay may wish to use Gr<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> Manan Channel<br />
in preference to <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> SE channel, as <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Maine coa<strong>st</strong> is often<br />
quite clear when <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> coa<strong>st</strong> of Nova Scotia <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> mo<strong>st</strong> of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> bay<br />
is enveloped in fog.<br />
1.1 Winds—Wea<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>r.—In consequence of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> frequency with<br />
which depressions pass near to or across Nova Scotia, winds<br />
are very variable. In <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Bay of Fundy, winds tend to blow<br />
along <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> central axis of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> bay. Except in Minas Bay, S to SW<br />
winds in summer <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> N to NW winds in winter are more prevalent<br />
than in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> open sea SE of Nova Scotia.<br />

1.1 Ice—There is a great amount of pack ice <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> icebergs that<br />
are carried S by <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Labrador Current when approaching <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> E<br />
side of Canada. In Canadian waters <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Canadian Coa<strong>st</strong> Guard<br />
Publication, "Ice Navigation in Canadian Waters", should be<br />
consulted. The internet site is as follows:<br />
Ice Navigation in Canadian Waters<br />
http://www.ice-glaces.ec.gc.ca<br />
1.1 Tides—Currents.—The tides of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Bay of Fundy, which<br />
are <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> greate<strong>st</strong> known, are very regular <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> tidal currents<br />
are not easily di<strong>st</strong>urbed by wind. <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> tidal differences are thus<br />
very con<strong>st</strong>ant for each locality from Yarmouth to <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> head of<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> bay. The average spring range of tide in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> upper parts of<br />
Chignecto Bay <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> Minas Channel are about 11.3m, as<br />
compared to about 3m in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Gulf of Maine. In <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> vicinity of<br />
Burntcoat Head, at <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> head of Minas Basin, <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> tide rises<br />
14.3m at neaps to 16.6m at spring tides.<br />
1.1 Tidal currents to a di<strong>st</strong>ance of 12 miles from Cape Sable<br />
were found to be somewhat regular during a survey in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> summer<br />
season; however, it was reported that on Browns Bank<br />
(42°29'N., 66°13'W.) <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> current occasionally sets to <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> NE<br />
continuously for 15 hours at a velocity of 2 knots. Therefore,<br />
when crossing this area, mariners should exercise extreme caution,<br />
particularly during reduced visibility.<br />
1.1 The currents in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Bay of Fundy are predominantly tidal in<br />
character, with <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> flood current running <strong>st</strong>rongly to <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> N <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
NE <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> ebb current to <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> S <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> SW; any set in a cross direction<br />
occurs only when <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> current is weak. Offshore, <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
current turns in a clockwise direction at SW <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> does not reverse<br />
its direction as quickly as it does nearer <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> shore.<br />
1.1 Pilotage.—Pilotage for ports in this sector is obtained<br />
through <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Atlantic Pilotage Authority. See Pub. 140, Sailing<br />

Isl<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong>, is used as an anchorage by vessels seeking shelter<br />
or waiting for a favorable tide to pass through Lubec<br />
Narrows. The entrance between The Boring Stone <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> We<strong>st</strong><br />
Quoddy Head is about 0.8 mile wide, with a depth of 8.5m near<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> middle.<br />
1.18 The<br />
Boring Stone, 1.5m high, lies about 0.3 mile SW of<br />
Liberty Point (44°50'N., 66°56'W.), <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> should be given a<br />
safe berth. Middle Ground, with a depth of 1.2m, lies in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
middle of Quoddy Narrows. The N <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> W parts of Quoddy<br />
Narrows between We<strong>st</strong> Quoddy Head <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> Lubec are full of<br />
shoals which partly uncover.<br />
1.18 The anchorage affords shelter from N <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> W winds, in<br />

<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> eddies are experienced in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Narrows. The channel<br />
is buoyed, but it is inadvisable to use this passage without local<br />
knowledge.<br />
1.18 Tides—Currents.—The mean range of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> tide at Lubec is<br />
5.3m, but tidal ranges over 6.1m are not uncommon.<br />
1.18 In <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> channel, <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> flood current sets N <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> ebb sets S,<br />
with a maximum velocity of 4 knots. In <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Narrows, <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> velocity<br />
increases to 6 knots with <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> flood current of spring tides,<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> 8 knots with <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> ebb current of spring tides.<br />
1.18 In Quoddy Narrows <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> Lubec Narrows, <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> flood current<br />
commences to run about 1 hours 30 minutes before LW by <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />

World Port Index No. 6550<br />
1.42 Saint John Harbor, at <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> mouth of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Saint John<br />
River, is open to shipping all year. It is important as a winter<br />
port when <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> St. Lawrence River is ob<strong>st</strong>ructed by ice. Saint<br />
John is <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> mo<strong>st</strong> important commercial center in New Brunswick<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> carries on a considerable trade with all parts of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />

Lanca<strong>st</strong>er, W of We<strong>st</strong> Saint John.<br />
1.42 The Saint John River is <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> large<strong>st</strong> river flowing through <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
Province of New Brunswick, <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> is navigable for small craft as<br />
far as Fredericton, <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> capital of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> province. A monobuoy is<br />
positioned close W of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> bank in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> passage between Negro<br />

Winds—Wea<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>r<br />
1.42 During <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> winter months, <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> prevailing winds are from <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
NW. From April through Augu<strong>st</strong>, winds are usually from <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
SE, S, <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> SW. Gales occur in winter <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> early spring.<br />
1.42 Fogs are ra<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>r frequent, particularly in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> early part of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
day, from <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> middle of June to <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> end of Augu<strong>st</strong>. November<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> December have <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> lea<strong>st</strong> fog.<br />
Ice<br />
1.42 Due to <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> large tidal range in Saint John Harbor, it is <strong>st</strong>ated<br />
that <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> formation of ice in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> harbor is almo<strong>st</strong> impossible <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
that field ice never drifts into <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> entrance of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> harbor from<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Bay of Fundy.<br />
1.42 The ice which does form in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Saint John River terminates 3<br />
miles above Reversing Falls (45°15.7'N., 66°05.3'W.), at <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
head of harbor, <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> is prevented by <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>m from escaping into<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> harbor. When <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> ice does break up in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> spring, it is rotten<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> completely pulverized when coming down over <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> falls.<br />

1.42 Saint John Harbor is noted for extremely high tides, <strong>st</strong>rong<br />
tidal currents, <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> significant currents caused by <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> outflow<br />

At spring tides <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> range is about 8.8m.<br />
1.42 There is a conflict between <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> <strong>st</strong>rong tidal currents <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
river current; when <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> river is high, <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> current is <strong>st</strong>ronger <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
la<strong>st</strong>s longer again<strong>st</strong> a flood tidal current. The river normally rises<br />
24 hours after a heavy rain, <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> it is at its highe<strong>st</strong> during <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
spring freshet. Ea<strong>st</strong> winds reduce <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> effect of ebb tidal currents<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> increase <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> amount of salt water entering <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> harbor<br />
during <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> flood current.<br />
1.42 During <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> spring freshet, <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> great volume of water discharging<br />
from <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> river causes a con<strong>st</strong>ant outgoing surface flow to a considerable<br />
depth, which at times attains a velocity of 5 knots in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
main harbor. When <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>se conditions prevail, vessels entering or<br />
departing from Coutenay Bay may be re<strong>st</strong>ricted to a maximum<br />
draft of 8.5m <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> daylight movements only.<br />
1.42 Even with normal conditions, because of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> outflow from<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> river, <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> surface flow may be misleading with a rising tide.<br />
After half tide, rising, an outward surface flow may <strong>st</strong>ill be<br />
very evident, while underneath but coming nearer <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> surface<br />
as <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> tide continues to rise, a <strong>st</strong>rong inward current may exi<strong>st</strong>.<br />
From approximately half tide, falling, <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> whole movement of<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> water is outward.<br />
1.42 The following conditions were observed in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> channel<br />
opposite Negro Point (45°15'N., 66°04'W.), in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> month of<br />
Augu<strong>st</strong> with tides of average range: At a depth of 6.1m, <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
flood tidal current began 3 hours after LW, <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> ebb current<br />
about 2 hours 30 minutes after HW. On <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> surface, <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> ebb<br />
rate rose to 2.5 knots, <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> flood rate to 1.75 knots; at a<br />

influence of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> tide. There is a clearly defined layering of<br />
water throughout <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> area, forming an interface between <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
two bodies of water. With <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> difference in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> relative density<br />
of each layer, mixing between <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>m will occur. As <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> deeper<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> denser salt water mixes upward into a fresher layer, it is<br />
carried outward <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> water thus lo<strong>st</strong> is replaced by more<br />

1.42 A line consi<strong>st</strong>ing of foam <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> small bits of debris <strong>st</strong>retches<br />
across <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> approaches to Saint John Harbor. Its location changes<br />

The Saint John River<br />
1.43 Reversing Falls (45°16'N., 66°05'W.), at <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> head of<br />
Saint John Harbor, lead to <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> upper reaches of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Saint John<br />
Pub. 145<br />
Reversing Falls<br />
River. This remarkable phenomenon is caused primarily by a<br />
ridge of rock, with a lea<strong>st</strong> depth of 4m at LW, extending across<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> river. The ridge rises abruptly from <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> river bed, with deep<br />
water on ei<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>r side, <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> has a damming effect on <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> inward<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> outward flow of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> tidal water.<br />
1.43 At<br />
LW, <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> surface of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> river above <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> falls is 3.4 to 4.6m<br />
above <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> level of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> harbor, <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> at HW it is 1.8 to 3m below<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> harbor level. The falls reverse with <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> tide, but <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> effect is<br />
more marked during <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> outward flow.<br />
1.43 The<br />
falls are navigable by small vessels for about 0.5 hour<br />
before <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> after SW, which la<strong>st</strong>s about 10 minutes. Small boats<br />
should pass during <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> period of SW. During great freshets, due<br />
to <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> melting of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> snow, which usually occurs between <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
beginning of April <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> middle of May, <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> falls are impassable<br />
as <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> harbor level never reaches that of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> river. Meteorological<br />
conditions can alter <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> time of LW or HW from that<br />
predicted by an appreciable amount.<br />
1.43 There<br />
is no requirement to contact <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> port corporation when<br />
berthing to await SW at <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Reversing Falls. A temporary berth<br />
is available at a pontoon adjacent to <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Market Square complex,<br />
close N of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Canadian Coa<strong>st</strong> Guard wharf. The pontoon<br />
is 30m long, but it is reported that <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> inner 9m has depths of<br />
only 0.6 to 0.9m alongside.<br />
1.43 The<br />
river above Reversing Falls is navigable as far as<br />
Fredericton (45°57'N., 66°38'W.), about 70 miles above<br />
Reversing Falls. Kennebecasis Bay <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Kennebecasis River<br />
join <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Saint John River about 3 miles above <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Falls. The<br />

The Petitcodiac River<br />
Sector 1. The Bay of Fundy <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> Nova Scotia—Southwe<strong>st</strong> Coa<strong>st</strong> 33<br />
1.55 The Petitcodiac River is navigable at HW, as far as<br />
Moncton (46°05'N., 64°46'W.), 24 miles above Cape Maringouin.<br />
1.55 Tidal currents in Shepody Bay, in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> entrance to <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> river,<br />
have a maximum velocity of from 3 to 4 knots. Tide rips extend<br />
from <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> vicinity of Grind<strong>st</strong>one Isl<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> in a NNE direction for a<br />
di<strong>st</strong>ance of about 5 miles.<br />
1.55 The Petitcodiac River is noted for its bore, which occurs between<br />
Stoney Creek, about 9.5 miles above Fort Folly Point,<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> Moncton. The bore, with a breaking face, occurs in this<br />
section of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> river about 3 hours before HW. At Moncton, its<br />
rate of progress at spring tides is about 8 knots, <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> average<br />
height about 1m. After <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> bore’s passage, <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> tide rises very<br />
rapidly until HW. The breaking face of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> bore is only a few<br />
inches high at neap tides.<br />
1.55 The outer edge of drying flats, in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> NW part of Shepody<br />

1.86 Annapolis Basin, <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> SW portion of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> e<strong>st</strong>uary of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
Annapolis River, is protected <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> open throughout <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> year;<br />
however, gales from <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> N <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> NW raise a heavy sea, which<br />
when drift ice is present, may damage a vessel. The basin affords<br />
good anchorage to deep-draft vessels. The harbor of Digby<br />
is located in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> SW part of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> basin.<br />
1.86 Digby Gut (44°41'N., 65°46'W.), a deep passage about 0.4<br />

1.86 Man of War Rock, with a depth of 6.7m, lies about 0.1 mile<br />
from <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> W side of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> passage, about 1 mile SE of Prim Point.<br />
Close S of Man of War Rock, banks extending about 0.1 mile<br />
from ei<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>r shore reduce <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> width of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> passage.<br />
1.86 At Victoria Beach, a light is shown near a drying basin<br />
formed by two breakwaters, each about 100m long. A large<br />
fish processing plant <strong>st</strong><<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong>s near <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> N breakwater. There is a<br />

1.86 Tides—Currents.—The tidal rise at Digby is 8.2m at MH-<br />
WS, <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> 7.1m at MHWN.<br />
1.86 In <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Bay of Fundy, across <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> entrance to Digby Gut, <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
tidal currents run parallel to <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> shore, with a maximum velocity<br />
of about 2.5 knots, turning inshore a little before, <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> offshore<br />
a little after local HW <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> LW. The current runs NE with<br />
a rising tide <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> SW with a falling tide.<br />
1.86 In Digby Gut, <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> currents have a maximum velocity of<br />
about 5 knots, turning approximately at local HW <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> LW.<br />
Both currents cause whirlpools <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> eddies, which are particularly<br />
<strong>st</strong>rong on <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> W side of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> channel, in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> vicinity of Man<br />
of War Rock. Turners Eddy, over a shoal with a depth of 7.9m,<br />
lies about 0.7 mile SE of Prim Point.<br />
1.86 A SW swell in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Bay of Fundy will propagate into Digby<br />
Gut; when combined with <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> ebb current, large waves will be<br />
encountered on <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> seaward side of Man of War Rock. This effect<br />
is reported to be at its greate<strong>st</strong> about 2 hours 30 minutes<br />
before LW.<br />
1.86 Pilotage.—Pilotage is not compulsory. Local pilots for Digby<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Annapolis River are available day <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> night, <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
should be applied for through <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> shipping agent or by radio-<br />
Pub. 145<br />
telephone to <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Pilotage Commission at Digby.<br />
1.86 Pilot usually meets vessels at <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> entrance to Digby. As long<br />
as a 12-hour notice is given, no waiting is experienced.<br />
1.86 Annapolis Basin is occupied by extensive shoals with depths<br />
of less than 1.8m in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> S part, <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> inner or NE part is filled<br />
with shoals through which flows <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> channel of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Annapolis<br />
River. Port Wade, on <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> NW side of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> basin, has a wharf in a<br />
<strong>st</strong>ate of disrepair near <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> village.<br />
1.87 Digby (44°38'N., 65°46'W.) (World Port Index No.<br />
6470) lies in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> SW part of Annapolis Basin. The local indu<strong>st</strong>ries<br />
are commercial fishing, lumbering, <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> farming. The<br />
main entrance channel has a width of 90m <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> a minimum<br />
depth of 6.1m. It is <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> high tidal range that permits <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> maximum<br />
allowable draft of 12.9m. The main public wharf has a<br />
length of 95m, allowing a maximum draft alongside of 12.9m.<br />
Ferry traffic is loaded <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> unloaded at <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> main wharf. The port<br />
consi<strong>st</strong>s of an F-shaped spur, but only <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> main <strong>st</strong>em is used for<br />
commercial traffic.<br />
1.87 Pilotage.—Pilotage is not compulsory but available; VHF<br />
channel 16 is used.<br />
1.87 Anchorage.—There is good anchorage for small vessels, in<br />
depths of 11 to 14.6m, about 1 mile N of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> wharves at Digby.<br />
There is anchorage nearer to <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> pier in a depth of 7.0m. Deepdraft<br />
vessels can anchor, in depths of 16.5 to 18.3m, in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> central<br />
part of Annapolis Basin.<br />
1.88 The Annapolis River is navigable by vessels of moderate<br />
draft, with local knowledge, as far as Annapolis Royal,<br />
about 5 miles above Goat Isl<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> (44°42'N., 65°37'W.). The<br />
latter isl<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong>, 7.6m high <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> wooded, lies nearly in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> middle<br />
of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> river entrance, <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> on <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> S side of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> principal channel.<br />
An extensive shoal, which dries in places, extends nearly 4<br />
miles SW from <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> isl<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong>. The channel leading to <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> river entrance<br />
lies along <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> N side of this shoal, <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> is marked by<br />
buoys. Schafner Point, on <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> N side of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> river entrance, is<br />
marked by a light.<br />
1.88 Annapolis Royal (44°45'N., 65°31'W.) (World Port Index<br />
No. 6480) has several wharves which dry alongside at LW. A<br />
causeway <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> dam cross <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> river close above Annapolis Royal.<br />
The public wharf, which dries, is 117m long; vessels up to<br />
110m long, with a maximum draft of 10.3m, can be accommodated.<br />
Vessels may anchor about 1 mile below <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> town, in a<br />
depth of about 11m; however, because of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> tidal eddies, it is a<br />
poor anchorage.<br />
1.88 Caution.—Changes in currents in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Annapolis River may<br />
occur without notice due to <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> operation of turbines <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> sluice<br />
gates at <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> hydroelectric power plant at Annapolis Royal. Off<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> power <strong>st</strong>ation, a current of up to 4 knots can be expected.<br />

considerable di<strong>st</strong>ance NW of, <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> spit.<br />
1.95 Tides—Currents.—The tidal currents along <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> coa<strong>st</strong><br />
between Chute Cove <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> Halls Harbor increase in velocity<br />
from 2 knots off <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> former to 3 knots off <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> latter. As Scots<br />
Bay is approached, <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> velocity of both currents decrease.<br />
1.95 From near Cape Chignecto, <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> E current sets toward Cape<br />
D’Or, where it meets an eddy <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> causes a tide rip which extends<br />
about 1 mile S of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> cape. With <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> W current <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>re is an<br />

1.95 Anchorage.—In addition to <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> previously-mentioned anchorages,<br />
vessels can anchor, in about 21.9m, from 0.5 to 1<br />
mile from <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> shore anywhere between Digby Gut <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
mouth of Scots Bay. Ea<strong>st</strong> of Morden, a <strong>st</strong>rong W wind, la<strong>st</strong>ing<br />
for more than 6 hours, causes a heavy sea with <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> fir<strong>st</strong> part of<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> E tidal current, <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> renders <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> anchorage bad, especially<br />
for small vessels. Strong SW winds make <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> anchorage uncomfortable<br />
for small vessels during <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> W current.<br />
1.95 Vessels waiting for a favorable tide to enter Minas Basin can<br />
anchor, in 9.1m, about 0.5 mile from <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> shore in Greville Bay,<br />
which lies between Spencer Isl<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> Port Greville, or <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>y<br />
can anchor, in 18.3m, about 1 mile SE of Cape Split, but this<br />
anchorage is not recommended during <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> autumn months,<br />
when gales which commence from <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> E frequently shift to <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />

Cape Split<br />
1.96 Minas Basin, with Cobequid Bay, its E extension, extends<br />
about 50 miles E of Cape Split (45°20'N., 64°30'W.).<br />
The basin has depths of 73m in its entrance <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> 18.3m in its<br />
central part. The e<strong>st</strong>uary of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Avon River, in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> SW part of<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> basin, <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> Cobequid Bay, at its head, are encumbered by<br />
shoals <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> drying banks.<br />
1.96 Ice.—Minas Basin <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> its approaches, E of Cape D’Or, are<br />
ice-covered in average years from about <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> end of December<br />
to <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> end of March, February being <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> wor<strong>st</strong> month. The ice<br />
in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> basin is mainly unnavigable in January <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> February.<br />
1.96 Tides—Currents.—When navigating in Minas Basin, mariners<br />
mu<strong>st</strong> take into consideration <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> great rise <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> fall of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
tide. The tidal rise at Parrsboro is 11.3 to 12.5m at neap tides,<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> 12.7 to 14.2m at spring tides. There is a lea<strong>st</strong> depth of approximately<br />
6.7m in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> middle of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> entrance opposite <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
light on <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> breakwater at HWN.<br />
1.96 The tidal currents in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> middle of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> entrance to Minas Basin,<br />
N of Cape Split, have a velocity of 7 to 8 knots. In <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> basin,<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> velocity is about 3 or 4 knots.<br />
1.96 Anchorage.—In moderate wea<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>r, vessels can anchor anywhere<br />
along <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> shores of Minas Basin <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> Cobequid Bay, but<br />
off <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> N shore <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> bottom is hard. The great rise <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> fall of<br />

<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> shelter <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> harbor. Parrsboro Light is shown from <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
breakwater on <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> W side of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> harbor entrance, about 0.1<br />
mile S of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> N extremity of Lighthouse Bar. The government<br />
wharf lies about 0.1 mile NNW of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> N extremity of Lighthouse<br />
Bar. The navigation season is from April 1 to December<br />
31. Lumber <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> pulpwood are exported.<br />
1.98 Depths—Limitations.—Owing to <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> large range of tide,<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> harbor is accessible by vessels of moderate draft which are<br />
capable of taking bottom. In 2009, it was reported that drafts of<br />
4.9m at neaps <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> 8.5m at springs can be safely carried. There<br />
is a lea<strong>st</strong> depth of approximately 6.7m in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> middle of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> entrance<br />
opposite <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> light on <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> breakwater at HWN.<br />
1.98 The dog-legged public wharf, with a berthing length of<br />
100m, has a vessel bed of hardwood 100m long <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> 16m wide<br />
alongside <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> wharf for ships to lie upon at LW.<br />
1.98 Pilotage.—Pilotage is not compulsory. Local pilots are<br />
available <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> will board vessels off Ile Haute or Spencer Isl<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong>,<br />
if arranged in advance. Entrance to <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> harbor should not<br />
be made without local knowledge.<br />
1.98 Anchorage.—Vessels awaiting tide may anchor 2nm SE of<br />
Parrsboro Light. Ano<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>r anchorage with a depth of 18m is located<br />
1 mile SE of Cape Split. Anchoring off Cape Split is not<br />
recommended during autumn as E gales will frequently shift to<br />

of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Nova Scotia Banks.<br />
General Remarks<br />
2.1 Winds—Wea<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>r.—In consequence of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> frequency<br />
with which depressions pass near to or across Nova Scotia,<br />
winds are variable. At sea, in autumn <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> winter, <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>y blow<br />
considerably more often from about W <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> NW than from o<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>r<br />
directions; in spring <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> summer <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>y blow more often from<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> SW quadrant than from any o<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>r.<br />
2.1 In winter, fog <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> low visibility occur at sea on 2 to 4 days a<br />
month, but during <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> summer it is frequent <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> often persi<strong>st</strong>ent.<br />
Periods of 10 to 14 days a month occur in May to Augu<strong>st</strong>,<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> from 5 to 10 days in April <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> September. It is usually sea<br />
fog associated with S winds blowing over <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> cold water that<br />
lies between <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> coa<strong>st</strong> <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Gulf Stream. Low visibility is<br />
likely to improve until <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> wind veers to <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> W or NW, unless<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> ship is proceeding toward <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Gulf Stream where warmer<br />
water <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> better visibility will be found.<br />
2.1 Ice.—The area from Cape Sable to Halifax is ice-free all<br />
year except for new <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> young ice which forms in bays <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> inlets<br />
during cold spells of January <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> February. This ice soon<br />
melts if it is carried out to sea by wind <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> tidal current, <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> it<br />
never hinders navigation. Local tugs or government ice-breakers<br />
are used to open some of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> harbors after ice has formed or<br />
to maintain a passage into port despite <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> wea<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>r conditions.<br />
2.1 Tides—Currents.—The offshore current along <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> SE coa<strong>st</strong><br />
of Nova Scotia generally sets SW, but it is more or less influenced<br />
by <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> weak <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> irregular tidal currents, <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> also by <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
wind.<br />
2.1 Pilotage.—Pilotage for ports in this sector is obtained<br />
through <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Atlantic Pilotage Authority. See Pub. 140, Sailing<br />
Directions (Planning Guide) North Atlantic Ocean <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> Adjacent<br />
Seas for fur<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>r information.<br />

2.2 The coa<strong>st</strong> between Cape Sable, <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> SW extremity of<br />
Nova Scotia, <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> Baccaro Point, about 7.5 miles NE, recedes<br />
to form Barrington Bay.<br />
2.2 Baccaro Point (43°27'N., 65°28'W.) is marked by a light<br />
shown from a white tower, 12m high. Two radio towers,<br />
marked by red ob<strong>st</strong>ruction lights, lie about 0.1 mile N of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
lighthouse; two domes are conspicuous about 90m far<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>r N.<br />
Baccaro Point is reported to be a good radar target at 16 miles,<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> to be identifiable with <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> charted feature from <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> shape<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> character of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> echo at 10 miles under normal conditions.<br />
2.2 Bantam Rocks, awash <<strong>st</strong>rong>and</<strong>st</strong>rong> over which <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> sea nearly always<br />
breaks, lie near <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> outer edge of a bank, with depths of less<br />

than 11m extending about 1.5 miles SSW of Baccaro Point. A<br />
lighted whi<strong>st</strong>le buoy is moored about 0.5 mile SW of <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> rocks.<br />
2.2 Caution.—Brazil Rock, with a depth of 2.1m, lies about 5.5<br />
miles S of Baccaro Point. The sea breaks heavily over <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> rock<br />
in bad wea<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>r, but in good wea<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>r it is only marked by a tide<br />
