Narrative and photographs

Rich and I happened to spot this new (set just last year) tidal station while wandering around the area waiting to join our sailing of the Margaret Todd. It’s set into the seawall, on the ocean side of the fence, so taking photos was a bit tricky. It’s near an angle in the seawall about 100 feet west of the Shore Path entrance to the Bar Harbor Inn. This new mark is in very good condition.
