After our touristy-but-fun sailing on the Margaret Todd, Rich and I wandered around the pier; I had a sneaking suspicion that some of the other new NOS marks would be nearby, perhaps on the other side of the main building at the municipal pier (the one that houses the Fish House Grill), which is an area we had never checked before. This was the first of the two marks that we spotted. It is set into the middle of the concrete berm a hundred feet or so to the southwest of the second mark (TIDAL F), on a promenade area between Stewman’s and the Fish House Grill. This new disk is in very good condition.
